Comparing what showed up on the list server vs. your message sent
directly, you are NOT using the standard quoting convention. The direct
message used an HTML <blockquote> tag to indent the "quoted" text,
something which will not carry through a properly configured list
server.

HTML is bad in email, especially list servers, unless done with
explicit prior agreement of all parties.
