<p>I don't know what mailtool Nick uses but the style of lardation
(my coinage, rhymes with "tarnation") Nick affects seems just
downright hazardous to the reader! It seems that it is upon one
of the Santa Fe denizens to sit down cheek-to-jowl
(N95-to-Bandana) with Nick and help him learn one of the
conventional idioms for text-larding.</p>
<p>My own Larding may be faulty I realize because I let it flow from
what is easy with Thunderbird (my mail tool of choice) and since I
(re)read my own material in Thunderbird I would never know if it
renders uglified elsewhere/weiz.</p>
<p>The UNIX mailtool technique/support I grew up with was simply to
add a series of > like a shell prompt at the start of each line
which might or might not include a prefix unique identifier:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>>>>line from message three iterations back</i></p>
<p><i>>> line from message 2 iterations back (presumably in
response to the line above)</i></p>
<p><i>> line from previous message with two "greater than"
'>' symbols</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>or</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>GEPR>>>>some statement</i></p>
<p><i>NST>>> some rephrasing of/commentary on the above
statement</i></p>
<p><i>GEPR>> pithy retort</i></p>
<p><i>SASS > dumbass interjection oblique to pithy retort to
rephrasing of some statement</i></p>
