Helge,

 The question about if I wanted to sell one or two of those tubes was a 
question that you or someone else had asked me and I was responding to.

 On my computer. I can quote the original message then split it up and 
respond to only one line item or question at a time.

 On my screen, my text has it's background colored a light green and the text 
is BOLD so it's an easy and obvious way to tell what I sent and what I 
didn't.

 Unfortunately, when the reflector rebroadcasts my email, it all comes out 
looking the same.

 Even that would not be a problem if I could respond directly to you because 
then you would get the unadulterated message and see the differences in the 
text and background, but mail I send to you keeps getting rejected by your 
server with a statement that you are over your storage limit or something to 
that 
effect.

Regards,

Dennis O.
