   Hello mark!   
      
   AA>>>> Next, I might look into the quoting options. By default it is just   
   AA>>>> the ">" char.  Not sure if I want the First Last initials look.   
      
   ml>>> you should... it is the defacto FTN quoting standard... especially if   
   ml>>> it adds new ">" to the right of existing ones which is another   
   ml>>> defacto FTN quoting standard... i've been manually fixing them in   
   ml>>> many of our posts back and forth...   
      
   The above "quote" is for you.  ;)   
      
   (Accomplished with oxp config.  Maybe there should be a space after the     
   ">" ?)   
      
   ml>... the FTN way is totally alien and more advanced   
   ml>than what the 'net offers...   
      
   "advanced" ?? Hmmm..  It's certainly "different".   I personally like the     
   initials method.  It leaves no doubt as to the author of the text.  But I     
   also believe it's not entirely necessary (as mentioned and explained     
   previously).   
      
      
   ml>..you cannot tell that when you come along later and read the same   
   ml>thread weeks later... especially if there's no initials and even moreso if   
   ml>someone has trimmed out the attributions or someone's editor didn't put   
   ml>attributions in in the first place...   
      
   ..and the whole thing hinges on the use of full and proper FN LN for the     
   whole thing to work.  I don't think Policy 4 states that real or any kind     
   of two-part name with FN LN is even required.   
      
   Were you ever a member of Compuserve and the discussion areas?   
      
   I liked the way their offline reader/editor handled block quotes  Very     
   simple with just an opening "intials tag >" at the beginning of a block,     
   and a closing "< initials tag" at the end.  This left the block to re-flow     
   as required.
