Hallo Lubosh,
ich möchte Ihnen einen praktischen Rat geben:
Wenn Sie eine Zeile aus einer erhaltenen e-mail in Ihren Brief einstellen,
um darauf zu antworten, dann sollten Sie die Übernahme nicht mit "...",
sondern - wie es auch der Computer macht - mit >... kennzeichnen. Die
Anführungsstriche werden außer zu Hervorhebungen allgemein zunächst als
Kennzeichnung einer "direkten Rede" verstanden - wie z.B.: Er sagte: "Wenn
morgen schönes Wetter ist, gehen wir spazieren."
Also

> Theodoxus danubialis was once a common snail in the river systems of what
> is now the Czech Republic - but is now extinct in these same rivers.

Und wenn Sie dann (so wie hier) zwischen Übernahme und Ihrem Text noch eine
Leerzeile eingeben, dann braucht man sich nicht den Kopf darüber zu
zerbrechen, wo fremder Text und Antworttext zu trennen sind.

Ich freue mich, dass Sie wieder glücklich aus Marokko zurück sind.
Augenblicklich ist es ja nicht ganz ungefährlich, dorthin zu reisen.
Haben Sie etwas Schönes gefunden?

Herzliche Grüße,
Gert
