I'm using OE6. But it's not the reader. I use
pipes deliberately for clarity. I figure it would
be easier to read multiple quotes if they happened
like:


#
|#
]|#

Something like that. Some others may not
agree. I don't know. But I find it clearer to
mix the symbols rather than just having piles
of on the left side. Of course, good editing
would be even better, but many people are
in the habit of bottom-posting without ever
editing, or doing inline posting without leaving
spaces for clarity. Habits left over from the
old days. They're not going to change.

Do the pipes confound software that colorcodes
for different posters? I've never used anything
like that, so I'm not familiar with the design.
