I believe there may have been sarcasm involved, and I believe the 
point was something similar to "Using any kind of quoting marks 
that are not handled automatically by everyone's email client, is 
almost as bad as sending them html - so in the same way that you 
kindly send plain text instead of html, please also kindly use 
built-in automatic quoting marks only".
