   Hello Maurice!   
      
    MK> I wasn't referring to just the quote initials when commenting on   
   distinguishing quotes from the rest of the MSG.  Instead to the entire quoting   
   prefix whether or not there are initials, spaces, etc. within the prefix.    
   According to http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0032.001;   
      
   The problem with that ftsc proposal is that it doesn't define     
   what a "line" is.  Is it like I just used it in my above quote?     
    Or.. is "line" 30-40 characaters, or something?   
      
    >> Newly quoted text should be preceeded by the a single space, a greater   
   than symbol ('>') and another space.   
      
   Well.. my quoted parts above follow that rule.   
      
      
    MK> As for the threading codes, I am assuming you are referring to   
    MK> MSGID/REPLY, which in the case of this REPLY, will work..   
      
   Yes.. that is what I meant. The official terms escaped me at     
   the time of writing.   
      
      
    MK> ..but will not work if a proper MSGID doesn't exist in the   
    MK> MSG one is REPLYing to.  Also quotes can exist in posts   
    MK> that aren't a REPLY.   
      
   Ah..  then some intelligence could be built into the quoting     
   system to prompt for quoting or not.  If a MSGID is present in     
   the original, then offer quoting as an option.  If no MSGID is     
   present, then proceed with a quoting method.   
      
   I may be mistaken but I believe the QWK messages do not have     
   MSGIDs produced at the source.
