Well, same here with many others' emails. (Broken-threading
and continuous-quoting are terms beyond my ken.)

OK, indent bad, double return good now added to goodmanners.
Yonks ago Paul Vigay said no more Pluto, webmail now, use
your browser. Hence the NetSurfing, as the RiscOS FireFox
doesn't work here and Webster pages have weird layout.
Andrew made NetFetch pop up on RiscOS entry with multiple
options needing study & practice, so am sticking with the
simple way. Didn't realize it rattles Pluto.

Er, typed this days ago & clicked Save Draft instead of
Send. Dementia rules.
