NNTP server of Tommy Koivula doesn't have such ability. Does        > Tommy's server have no such an ability or the feature is not turned on?              There is a setting "-smartquote":              "The quoting style of most newsreaders is different from traditional fidonet        software. If you enable this option, JamNNTPd will try to change any quoted        lines to fidonet style. This means that it will try to insert the initials        of the person you reply to before the '>' character and also that it will try        to compound multiple generations of quotes, i.e. "AA> BB>" will be changed        into "BB>>".               Reformatting quotes in this way means that the user who posts a message will        no longer have final say over the final content of the message since it will        be changed after he or she sends it to JamNNTPd. Since this in principle is        a bad thing even if quoted text will look a lot better after reformatting,        this option is turned off by default."               > ---        > * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0)              And yes, it has been turned off in this server. Every newsreader has it own       way of quoting, so it may or may not work properly.              'Tommi              PS.
