They typically do. For example, Mail.app (the OS X mail client that comes with the operating system) is currently showing your text indented and coloured blue. If I'd quoted standardly formatted quotation as part of the text that I was quoting then that quoted quotation would appear green. The >>>s act as a marker to enable Mail.app (or Thunderbird or whatever) to do this. The standard format for email is plain ASCII text so it's not possible to mark quotations in italics or different colours directly. HTML emails aren't, if I recall correctly, a recognised standard and support for HTML in email systems is quite patchy. Does anyone know whether voice interfaces support quoting through different voices or pitches or something?
