   Heheheh.   Clarification... If I would want to join a convo between two     
   people and at least one of them already has 3-initial quoted lines, I     
   found out that my R)eply would cause those lines to stagger when wrapped.   
      
   I guess that I could always just keep one or two lines of a previous     
   message for the reply.  But a whole paragraph would require manual cleanup     
   to make the block look right.   
      
   Otherwise, OXP generates a 3-inital quote prefix (as in this reply) just     
   fine.   
      
   A direct reply to a 3-initial person is not to be feared. ;)   
      
   A message that already contains 3-intial quotes at a 2nd level seems to be     
   the problem.
