<p style="margin: 0 0 1em 0; color: black;">I seem to have left out part of
what I was intending to type. I judge whether something is a quote or not
on the presence of a greater than sign at the start of each quoted line in
plaintext email, the HTML formatting that renders as a vertical bar at the
start of each quoted line in HTML formatted email, or the headers used to
separate quoted text in Outlook. A mail client that marks up the text
you type to be indistinguishable from text you are quoting is seriously
broken.</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 1em 0; color: black;">Typically, they will say
something like, "On <date>, Xyz wrote" and then quote part or all of
what someone else wrote, without adding any comments of their own. I am
relying on the use of the > prefix on plain-text quotes, or the bar
prefix on HTML quotes, or the header on Outlook-formatted text, then it is
seriously broken.</p>
