Too bad quotes don't include the name of the quotee.






I guess the quotee is the re: name after the subject.

It isn't, though, necessarily--I'm pretty sure the re is the person whose post you've hit Reply to--who isn't always the person being quoted.

If you click on the Quote instead of the Reply it will be the person to whom you are responding. If you use any other method the system has no way of knowing who's being quoted; you're on your own:

Oh! Thanks! It has never occurred to me to use the Quote function; of course it would be that person, then! [duh e]
