Not really. I don't create them manually.

Easily done, but it would then make further quoting go
rightwards faster. But that space sounds a good idea in
the kind of FIDO-based scheme Chris showed us, which I
found an eye-opener and really attractive.
Anyone got any FIDO source that shows how they do that?
And how well does it cope with a mixture of traditional
Usenet and FIDO styles?
