Well, it's HTML so maybe it's possible to do something that looks
correctly at least by using a table with two columns. The left
consisting of '>' chars and the right with the content. The problem
would be to get exactly the same number of > as there are lines in the
left part, and the number must be able to change when the user resizes
the window.
Or, another idea, have a background image with a > char and then put a
left margin in the block so that the > will look as it is a part of the
text. This causes problems with different font sizes, but maybe
something like that is _possible_ to do.
Unfortunately, there are many more important things to work on in
Mozilla's mailnews part so I don't think anyone besides the people who
gets upset by the vertical bars will take the time to work on a solution
for quite a while.
