Martin Would that I could change my quoting style. My MUA, supplied by the organisation that supplies most of the world's MUAs, will put in a greater than sign as a quoting char provided you sent me 7bit . But should you use quoted-printable, then there is no quoting character and I am reduced to inserting XML style tags.
