José, thanks for pointing out the dots.  I hadn't noticed them before.

Gmail's somewhat recent format changes included auto hiding repetitive posts (with the dots ...) in an effort to streamline their conversation style display. this works very well for everything except mailing lists with a bottom-posting convention. And despite a lot of clamoring in the support group there is, and likely won't ever be, an option to change default behavior in this regard. So it goes :)
