IIRC the RFC specifies that the quote marking character be in the
first column. The rest of the line is then simple quoted unless the
quoting level causes a word wrap. No big deal for me either way.

Well putting my pedant's hat on, you don't *have* to read it..!
But in any case I am saying no more, I'm as tired of the argument as you
are.

Ah, *finally* I see it. I am using OE with the QuoteFix addon and both
were inserting quotemarks, OE was inserting a > and Quotefix the : so yes
there were two quotemarks.
Hope this is ok now, many apologies to all for my obtuseness.

: levels of quoting.
I've finally figured out what was wrong. I'm using OE with the Quotefix
addon, both were adding quotemarks, I'd changed the one in Quotefix but
forgot that OE itself inserted another one as well.
It should be ok now, apologies for my obtuseness..!
