Hi,

I recently discovered, to my horror, that all of my beautiful quotes that I made through the Nabble web interface were not shown in the e-mail version that people subscribed "normally" to the e-mail list I was posting to received. I discovered this when somebody gave me a lecture on Netiquette for not properly marking my quoted text.

Now I am using my mail client to reply to Nabble messages so that my mail client will create the quotes, but I was wondering if there was some config option I was missing that might insert right angle brackets on quoted lines when sending out the e-mail. It would be the best of both worlds, as Nabble users will see the pretty block quote, and e-mail users will see regular e-mail style quoting. If there isn't such an option, then it would be a very good idea to include this (as a default setting no less) in future revisions of Nabble.
