TobyD Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I use Outlook as my RSS feed reader and I've noticed that it is sometimes difficult to determine where the quote from a previous post ends and the reply begins. This is especially true when there are multiple quote tags with reply comments dumped throughout. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to make this division a little more obvious in the RSS feeds? Quote Link to comment

I was thinking that different fonts or bold/notbold, italic/notitalic might be and idea, but they are things that can actually be changed by the poster, so that wouldn't be a good idea.

I just wanted to ping this as an outstanding suggestion (not outstanding as in awesome, but outstanding as in I'd still like it ) Quote Link to comment
