OK, "I see the problem" now.  Unfortunately, I don't have an answer. =:^(

Of course, /my/ problem is people like you removing the > indicators so 
the color-coded quotes feature doesn't work and the post is a mess, all 
on the same quote-level, regardless of vertical separation, because often 
my reply is interleaved with the quote, replying to each point in turn.  
But to each his own, I guess.

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up, as at least I'm sure I know what you 
are trying to do now.  I simply couldn't quite "glark" (see kdict/jargon/
foldoc definition if necessary) it, before.
