In my world it's an indicator of quoting, just as immediately above; the number of > signs showing the level of nesting of quotation. For more detail see eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Quoted_line_prefix, starting at "Quoted line prefix".


If your correspondent hasn't prefixed it with an attribution line, possibly they've done a copy and paste from somewhere.

I don't have a tablet, but I used to use one of those stick things on my mobile until my daughter unkindly laughed at me.


I found that once I got used to it, using my ancient huge fingers on the tiny keyboard was actually quite easy :))

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
