the point is that most of us do not read the >'d stuff... only the new
stuff... we'll read the >'d stuff if we need to clarify what the
un>'d is saying...

on my system, >'d is in cyan, un>'d in brightcyan... my eyes are
drawn to the brighter new text... its the way it is and (in my case) has
been for 10 or 15 years...

at least put >'s on each line when you clean them up, please... you are
right in that not all OLRs act the same in this regard but they do most all
prefer to have >'s on each quoted line...

thank you very much...
