E.g.: > >> 3> 4> ... This would prevent text with many levels of nested quotations from pushing text so far rightward that it is forced to wrap prematurely. It seems that it should be possible to convert to this format even email sent by a non-conforming program: E.g. >4> is converted to 5> >>6> ..... 8> This seems like a reasonable convention since so many people are migrating to .rtf even in contexts where it is not appropriate such as Listservs ad usenet. Any comments for or against are welcome. --
