Why ignore the de-facto standard that exist for quotes in mails since
the beginning of time (long before "the internet" became a thing).
Quotes are prefixed with '>' (or, if you insist, with '|'). That way you
can even quote quotes etc.
Any decent mail client will do this automatically when you chose to
'reply' to an email.
You could yourself have made them clearer by putting marks like plus
signs or asterisks or whatever at beginning and end. I know that
separating text doesn't seem to work sometimes, and don't understand
why that is.
