Hey Nick!

 NB> "Good ol' days?" I don't think much has changed.

I never did care much for newsgroups, but that had little to nothing to do with compatibility.  What passes for email these days really sucks, quotes or no quotes.

 NB> The '> ' prefix is definitely more universal, not only for FTN, 
 NB> but newsgroups and email as well.

Agreed.  I think it would be the best way to handle this all things considered.  I will definetly adjust accordingly from here on in.  As for the trailing spaces I am inclined to keep them where they exist but getting rid of them is of no real concern.  If I discover something that indicates differently I'll let you know.

Life is good,
Maurice
