There are many problems with the way people format their email. For instance, your line length is too long-- after being quoted a few times, your lines will begin to wrap eratically and be difficult to read. You should set your line length to 72 characters, and use a mono-spaced font for your email display. A big problem is: we don't know what our messages look like on other users' systems! Would you like to start a co-operative effort to put together some "standards" and suggestions for improving our email posting in pianotech? I'm game.
