Both ways pasted in with leading ">" and colored as a quote. Oddly, when I then deleted the leading ">" of one line the color stayed the same even when I added and deleted several levels (e.g., >>>). I have also noticed that when I edit a quote (trim it down) sometimes if I start entering test right after the quote, my new text is in the quote color even though it has no leading ">". For example I just put the cursor after the period after the word "editor" at the end of the quote above and typed "<enter><enter>test" and as I look at it now the word "test" is the color of quoted text! I guess that I don't find the misleading colors as annoying as I do that in MicroEd I cannot click somewhere out to the right of a line and have the cursor appear just after the last character on that line. Also note that I am using a fairly ancient version the Windows editor (2.11) so that may be a factor too. Oh well, no accounting for taste.
