I didn't have good luck with cardoon because the ground was so hard 
it couldn't get established. But I'll remember that if I plant it

My email program does that. I use Eudora, but most of the others also 
have some kind of "quote" function. I don't know whether anything 
like that is available if you're replying from the Yahoo site.
