I want to reply to an email that has a numbered list in it (in fact this has already happened several times so it's an issue that I come across regularly). I'd like to leave the list as it is, but the reply will change the numbering, for example: Original email: 1. Item 1 2. Item 2 3. Item 3 Reply > 1. Item 1 Here is my reply to Item 1 > 1. Item 2 I want to reply to Item 2 but after I have typed the reply to Item 1 the system now thinks that a new list starts and renumbers this item as #1. > 1. Item 3 Same issue as above. Instead of the ">" of course I see Thunderbird's blue line for citing the old email in replies. How can I reply without corrupting the numbering of the list? Thanks!
