I still disagree with you ;-) The quoting mark is not just the ">" but "intitial plus great than". The problem, and you have made your point, is that TB cannot tell an name/initla apart from some other text, so it has added a "greater than" character into your quote, instead of adding your initials and one sauch character at the beginning of the line. And that is, to use your words: WA>>> *unauthorized* >> I see your point, which is valid if it is some other text and not the >> sender's name/initials etc. So, what's your suggestion?

I cannot come up with another idea, though. -- Best regards, Thomas.
