"=E2=80=9C>=E2=80=9D to the original message works best. Leaving white spac= e after the =E2=80=9C> ;=E2=80=9D" This way the reader does notice the space: =E2=80=9C> ;=E2=80=9D ";" is a placeholder mentioning that text starts at this position. This way the reader is missing the space: =E2=80=9C> =E2=80=9D The text is a little bit misleading. R=C3=A9sum=C3=A9: Before posting to a list a user should read a very long netiquette studded with terms (e.g. white space) never heard before and with ambiguous explanations (e.g. > ;).
