Hi Bruce
What I see in email is
"blocked quotes Start"
and then to close this
"blocked quotes end"
Or something close to that, it was just a curiosity to me that this
appeared?
It has started appearing in different email in the last several months.
This does not appear in all Email messages, only a few.
I have all of my email set to text.
So if a story were sent to me or something that I thought was good I would
copy the message and paste it into another Email and send it to a Friend or
two.
In the new email message the
"blocked quotes Start"
and then to close this
"blocked quotes end"
remains unless I delete the phrase, it is controllable in the text.
It does as many have said seem to point out a paragraph or something that
may be more important to the sender and a way to provide emphases to the
topic.
Interesting about the use in HTML as I have two web sites written
specifically in HTML and have never run on to the use of "Block quotes start
or end"
Generally if I want to provide emphases for a paragraph I use Bold or
Italics or quotes or some other measure.
If I want to bring it to some ones attention or make navigating the web page
easier I use Highlights.
Anyway thanks for your inputs and everyone else that has responded!

Actually, a lot of e-mail you'll receive is in HTML, which is the only way block quotes would be indicated in e-mail.

Hello Francis--
No I find this mostly in Email that I receive, in fact this is entirely this way that I run on to this situation.
Nothing to do with HTML or the Internet!

Bruce, I think Dick is wondering how these words "block quote start" ever get into text, such as what you will find when you capture and copy a web page to the virtual window. Dick, is that the case?
