Detecting End-of-File using READLINE command

[George Simon]

The reason it was indented is because I was using Word as the email editor
in that computer and Word cannot quote (>), so it indents instead.
On this computer, I'm not using Word as the email editor and the quoting
looks fine to me.
My question was how come people claim to have problems quoting html
messages, when I do not.
