Yes. ">" is the standard for direct quotes (direct replies). " | " is the standard for "third-source" quotes - so if I quote another text in a reply I use " | " to indicate this. Some newsreaders also color " | " quotes specially (slrn for example). That's why I am always confused when I see an Outlook Express posts using " | " for direct quoting. -- Holger Metzger Netscape 6 Tips: http://www.hmetzger.de/netscape6.html
