   that's easy... it is those pipe codes you are using in your header... look at   
   them below... i've changed the pipe to a bang so you can see the raw code   
   easier...

   looks like your last color setting is !01 which is dark blue for the three   
   dots terminating your quote header... it is a mess when viewed with software   
   that doesn't support it but if it must be done, one should set a default color   
   at the end of their sequence like has to be done when using ANSI to return to   
   the default color...
