e-mail posting test -- (post whatever you want here)

Hi I put this queery in several threads, then started a new thread called "About emails linked to the fora they come from" I'm not very familiar with forum procedures and so on.  Someone gave me this link as a more appropriate place to look into.

Here is my new thread post:

I would like to understand the relationship between the questions answered in the fora and the subsequent emails I receive as a result of it. I can see the content of those emails in the relevant forum I attend, but when I answer those emails my content does not appear in that forum, yet the bottom of the emails I receive stipulate that to reply the email is the prefered manner to add to the forum.

ie "To post a reply to the thread message, either reply to this email (recommended) or visit the message page:"

This bothers me a little as when I reply an email I tend to be more personal to the person who sent it to me, but if I know it will be also in the thread, which I thought it should I would try to alter my reply appropriately.

I remember vaguely reading in one of the first such email I received (in the header perhaps) something about brackets not to be removed but can't find where it is anymore.

thank you for any light ont he subject

Not part of the conversation: I copied the above bold text from one of those email, but right click in this space did not show "Paste"? (yes Ctrl V did work

But after reading many inputs in this thread I can see that it could be a while b4 I get a workable answer. Perhaps someone should explain clearly in layman language what will work and what will not. It must be working because I received quite a few replies by email and I could see them too in the forum involved, so why not mines??? all I do is click "reply" (in gmail) and enter plain text most of the time.
