Please look at the above sample (which I think is pretty close to what
Karl usually does).  I find that it is quite clear who said what.
Only problem is what do I do when I want to include more than one
piece from a specific person.  The easiest thing to do is to use more
than one attribution line.

The above format is also similar to what Erik Naggum does.  I wonder
if he has some Lisp support for his quoting scheme?

Sample:

* Karl Kleinpaste:
| (I observe that I also take out the quotation `> ' from in front
| of Jane's attribution line.

* Justin Sheehy:
| I don't like that part at all.  It confuses things, as that line
| was part of joe's message and thus is quoted by you.


Maybe there's some additional spacing somewhere -- the above somehow
looks strange.  But I can't put my finger onto it.  I find Erik's
postings quite readable, too.
