An unrelated netiquette point:

The email of mine that you are quoting was a private reply of mine
to a private message of yours.

Generally, you should ask permission from someone if you're going to
quote from their private email in a message on a public forum. 

You did not ask me first before you quoted from my private reply.
I'm ... annoyed ... that you did not ask.  In the future, please do so.
