rather than using only indentation. The reason I make this request is
that when I replied to your message, my mailer stripped away all
indentation from your message, leaving all earlier quoted portions
flush with the left margin, which made it very difficult to figure out
which quotes came from which authors from which earlier messages, and
I ended up having to reinsert the "> >" markers manually to restore
structure to my reply.)

Examining more closely, I see that your message was in fact multipart
MIME with an HTML portion which was using <blockquote> and whatnot,
which my (plain text) mailer stripped out, hence lost all formatting.
If you can configure your mailer to send plain text and use the normal
">" markers, that would be generally helpful on this list.
