Okay, so it's a matter of taste.  Please make it optional then.
I'd prefer seeing the message as is, with precisely the quote marks
that the author used.  No funny bars of any colour for me please.
Pretty please, in fact.  :-)

Might be a worthwhile addition.  I'd be happy already if marking
*any* quoted material with another colour, size, or slant worked as
the prefs dialog suggests.

But don't force *me* to have blue or gray bars instead of ">"s
just because *you* prefer it that way.

Yours,
    Erik.
