   I dunno.  TB won't do it (unless there is a working Add-On that does it?).   
      
   Besides, if the conversation is between two persons, it is easy to recognize   
   which person wrote what.   
      
   It is commendable of you to fix the lines and add the initials.  (I have done   
   that too.)  But it's really not necessary for every line.   
      
   If it is a very large block, why not save some work and do something like:

       1. in fact, or in effect, whether by right or not.   
      
   I would think of the "FL >" initials method more of as a "common standard".   
      
   But just the brackets is fine for me. TB does a fairly decent replacement of   
   the >>'s with vertical ||'s and is just as easy to deal with.   
      
   In fact, oxp adds colour to the different levels of ">>", so actual initials   
   aren't really necessary.  The colour makes things very clear who said what.   
      
   Nothing wrong with a little variety, eh?

   Well, I've certainly got a lot of variety between TB, Winpoint and OpenXP,   
   don't I?   :/
