I’m subscribed to this Google Group through email and reply to messages  
through Thunderbird but many of the messages I quote have the quoted  
part truncated or otherwise messed up when displayed in [ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com),  
which is where I actually read the messages. Is there a way I can  
“adjust” the quoting by Thunderbird so that doesn’t happen? The quoted  
part shows up fine in Thunderbird and in Google G. so there’s  
something specific to Ruby Forum that it doesn’t like.

Hey Michael,

this might be the problem with your thunder-bird settings, check  
what’s the outgoing email content-type  
Try changing that, with some test mails. (It may be either in  
preference dialog or your account setting).

Good Luck,
