I’m still unable to get any mail client to actually work well.
Thunderbird shows quoted lines prefixed with a right angle bracket (greater-than symbol), but if I prefix a line with that manually, it doesn’t send it as a quoted line, but sometimes, it does!
I don’t understand.
@ramsey As we have strayed further from God’s light (plain text clients), we have suffered.
I should clarify: this is not a new problem. It is a problem that has been going on for 30 years, since I stopped using Pine.
Interestingly, php.net and externals.io did the right thing, even if my mail client doesn’t show it the right way:

@ramsey I have the same issue here on mastodon and with Teams
At least with mastodon, I noticed that the > needs to be at the very start of the line and prefixed by an empty line
@GuillaumeRossolini I’m not sure what you mean. Mastodon doesn’t > for quoting. At least, vanilla Mastodon doesn’t. Some versions that have applied alternate patches might support that.
@ramsey Clearly the answer is to go back to Pine.
