Hello Maurice!

Why not just ONE prefix (initials or no initials) at the  
beginning..

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

 MK> 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.

Why do we really need repeated initals on each line anyway?
