I come from the BBS world too. Die hard bbs users should learn to
comply with standard Internet netiquette. Not the other way around.

It is posible to change that symbole. Make two templates:

1. template:  Name: NQ
%REM=_Cut out part before '^-- $'_%-
%REM=_and insert it into comment_%-
%REM=_Call QT_%-
%-
%COMMENT="%-
%SETPATTREGEXP='(?ism)[\n]*(.*?)[\n]*((-- [\n])|\z)'%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH='%text'%-
%SUBPATT='1'"%-
%QINCLUDE="nq2"

2. Template  name:NQ2
%REM=_Does comment have two or more lines?_%-
%REM=_If yes: print | and the first line_%-
%REM=_ cut that line from comment_%-
%REM=_ and call this QT again_%-
%REM=_If no: print | and the last line and exit_%-
%-
%IF:"%-
%-
%SETPATTREGEXP='(?is).*?[\n](.*)'%-
%REGEXPMATCH='%COMMENT'x"<>"x"%-
:"%-
%SETPATTREGEXP='(?is)(.*?)[\n]'%-
| %REGEXPMATCH='%COMMENT'
%-
%COMMENT='%-
%SETPATTREGEXP=""(?is).*?[\n](.*)""%-
%REGEXPMATCH=_%COMMENT_'%-
%QINCLUDE='nq2'"%-
:%-
"| %COMMENT%COMMENT=''"%- 


%QINCLUDE="NQ" instead of %QUOTES in youy email template

In this example the quote sign is "|". If you want another , change it
in NQ2.

Maybe. But that would make it impossible to use certain characters at
the beginning of a line.

Personally, I like the idea of having *one* character as a quote sign as
the de facto standard and *not* making it configurable. There are too
many people out there who would jump on such a feature and make "§"
their default quote sign (or something even more stupid) just to be
different from all the others.

It would be a good idea to make it configurable like Agent does i,
just put in characters that are quote prefixes. Would clearly help
with some mails from die-hard BBS users of olden tyme, who use { or [
or | and what not ...

Fortunately, this is not possible. This would really mess up the
highlighting of quotes.

I think I would send emails with non-standard quote signs straight to
the trash because I wouldn't want to waste my time with searching for
replies between the quoting of my post. Just my $0.02.

Hmm...none of this really removes the ">" from the replies.  I've yet

I did try this with no luck.  Also, I apologize for using an unrelated
subject line as well.  I'll keep messing with it.
