Why do the margins on my post get larger each time I add to it?

  I am using Ambiru. I Alt+A an e-mail, which includes photos, and hit Forward. I erase the words above subject and add at top [nogallery] which brings the photos in the way I want them. I choose my special Word Press e-mail address from Addressbook and send it. Everything is fine so far. But when I want to do it a second time with another e-mail, there are 2 problems, one more serious than the other. The 2nd e-mail + photos come in as a separate post, not at the end of the first e-mail. I have to copy and paste it below the end of the first e-mail I added to the post, and then delete the duplicate post. But on that second addition, the margins are wider and thus the text is in a narrower space (photos seem unaffected). Each time I add another e-mail, the margins get larger. How do I keep the margins the same no matter how many additional e-mails I add to the post? And, if possible, how can I add new sent e-mails onto the end of the post and not have to go through what I described above to have them be where I want them?

  Hi, sorry for the trouble with this. The first bit where I see something wrong happening is at the lines which read:

  In the thick of things

  From the “Only in Mexico” department:

  If you edit that post go ahead and click the HTML tab. There you’ll see the source of your post.

  Scroll down to those lines above and you’ll see a
  <blockquote>
  tag at the beginning. That is what’s causing the extra margins.

  Each time the post indents another level you’ll see one of those blockquote tags in the HTML. If you remove all of those your margins will go back to normal. Hope that helps get it sorted for you.
