Someone reading your message would figure you had typed nothing, since 
none of the lines start at the left margin.  You're putting your new 
remarks after the ">" symbols, so they look like they're quoted from Peter.

In most email programs, you just need to press <enter> once or twice to 
get an unindented line.  Then type your response, so it's clear who 
wrote it.

Worse, your message here is a reply to one originally posted in the 
tutor forum.
