Of course, you're right, Lou. When I read your reply two above, I
twiddled with resizing the window. Absolutely useless. So I went back
and twiddled with your first reply. Yes, it rewraps Nancy's post, but
there's still only one quote marker, whether I have two lines spread
wide, or five lines as narrow as I can get it. As soon as there's a
quote marker on every line, resizing and rewrapping makes it very hard
to read, indeed. Absolutely useless.

Live and learn.
