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".
