Nick -
> Was there a better way in Gmail?

I don't know how you access gmail... Thunderbird is my default which can 
(also) work with gmail accounts.     If you are using the webmail 
interface in a browser, it is likely that you can use RTF/HTML markup 
inline (block-indent, bold, italics?).

On a TS (tiny-screen/phone it might be somewhat harder?). Someone more 
familiar with your compositional environment might be able to give  you 
more specific advice.

NST> I think the use of caps was conventional in academia before Trump. 
It certainly does not Suggestshouting.

I'm unfamiliar with that convention, though perhaps in paper-print 
(typewriter/lower-visual-contrast, fixed pitch)  it renders more-better?

My preference is "block-indent"

    Like this here
    here and
    here.

but for all i know that comes through bolloxed by the mail reflector or 
the myriad mail-readers likely?

The txt e-mail convention I am familiar is to preface the initial 
correspondent's text with a ">" or "NST>"

SAS> what is with the ALL CAPS SHOUTING NICK?

NST> nothing intended, I thought it was the pre-TRUMP convention in Academia

SAS> I dunno, not familiar with that.

etc.

don't mean to "brush you back" with the typographic issue, the important 
point was that I went to the effort to change the format for myself 
as-needed to be able to parse easily... some might not make the effort.
