   Alfred, your quoting makes it hard to tell that the quote from the
   previous message is not just another paragraph taken from the
   manual.

Well, I can start putting normal double-quoting marks around the text
instead of indenting it with one/two spaces in the future.  Would that
be ok?

   Could you use the customary ">" quoting?

Not really, I kinda like my quoting style (and it is default in
rmail).

Cheers, and thanks for pointing it out.
