This breaks the quoting level colors in any mail >client I tried and makes your posts harder to read. It is also against the only thing close to a standard regarding quote marks in email: RFC 3676. That RFC defines 'quote-mark' as ">" and 'quote' as 1*quote-mark; meaning the only valid quoting is a string of '>' characters. ">" is valid and ">>>" is valid but "TA>" is invalid as is "> >". Yes, there are still a number of clients that "implement" this RFC but break quoting by default. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
