Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?
Colons appear in the message dialog box when you try to followup up on a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document. You may edit the quoted area if you like, although the followup message appears linked to the message, so quoting may not be necessary unless you are making a specific point.
Colons appear in the message dialog box when you try to post a followup to a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document. You can erase (cut) any or all of the previous message if you wish. It is often helpful to quote part of the previous message, to help other readers understand what it is you are responding to. However, it is also polite to delete as much of the previous message as you can while still keeping enough to provide context, so that responses don’t get too large.
