This is the date the mailing list software forwarded
Marc's e-mail to the list, not when he sent the mail.

These quote initials are misleading. Actually you want
�CL�. I'd recommend to not use quote initialls at all.

You could try something like this in your reply template for that
special mailing list:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%SetPattRegExp="\A\n*From:\s*(.*?)\s*$"%-
%RegExpMatch(%Text) wrote:
%SetPattRegExp="\A\n*From:.*?\nSent:.*?\n+(.*\z)"%-
%Quotes(%RegExpMatch(%Text))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If you are interested in stuff like that you should take a look at
