DONE. One step at a time. See below. Good enough.
Next, I might look into the quoting options. By default it is just the
">" char. Not sure if I want the First Last initials look.
oxp is clean and simple in operation. It really brings back a feeling from the late 90's though.

you should... it is the defacto FTN quoting standard... especially if
it adds new ">" to the right of existing ones which is another
defacto FTN quoting standard... i've been manually fixing them in
many of our posts back and forth...

I dunno. TB won't do it (unless there is a working Add-On that does
Besides, if the conversation is between two persons, it is easy to recognize which person wrote what.
It is commendable of you to fix the lines and add the initials. (I
have done that too.) But it's really not necessary for every line.
If it is a very large block, why not save some work and do something
like:
adverb: defactostandard".
1. in fact, or in effect, whether by right or not.
I would think of the "FL >" initials method more of as a "common
But just the brackets is fine for me. TB does a fairly decent
replacement of the >>'s with vertical ||'s and is just as easy to deal with.
In fact, oxp adds colour to the different levels of ">>", so actual initials aren't really necessary. The colour makes things very clear who said what.
Nothing wrong with a little variety, eh? <g>

Well, I've certainly got a lot of variety between TB, Winpoint and
OpenXP, don't I? :/

true but you cannot tell that when you come along later and read the same thread weeks later... especially if there's no initials and even moreso if someone has trimmed out the attributions or someone's editor didn't put attributions in in the first place...

that's just a visual thing when reading... the ">" are still used and can be seen if you edit a draft...
i've had to fix some that were quite ugly and
then there's the ones where a blank line at the end of a text block gets a quote mark on it and the reply starts on the same line as that empty
quote... that makes it look like there is no reply and the reply text is wrongly attributed to the person quoted...

than what the 'net offers...

The above "quote" is for you. ;)
(Accomplished with oxp config. Maybe there should be a space after
the ">" ?)

"advanced" ?? Hmmm.. It's certainly "different". I personally like
the initials method. It leaves no doubt as to the author of the text.
But I also believe it's not entirely necessary (as mentioned and
explained previously).

..and the whole thing hinges on the use of full and proper FN LN for
the whole thing to work. I don't think Policy 4 states that real or
any kind of two-part name with FN LN is even required.
Were you ever a member of Compuserve and the discussion areas?
I liked the way their offline reader/editor handled block quotes Very simple with just an opening "intials tag >" at the beginning of a
block, and a closing "< initials tag" at the end. This left the block
to re-flow as required.
Hello mark!
This one's for you.

Adjusted quote function to add an extra space after "initials> "
.... i remember on RIME/PCRelay, the quoting stuff was a lot
different... most of it was, as i recall, wrapped in boxes with the attribution in the top of the box... i had several that i used at that time... some even had 3D shadows... ANSI was used quite regularly,
too...
it was pretty and fairly easy to read but when folks started adding
all kinds of colors, that took away from being able to concentrate on
what was being written...

it is certainly nothing to do with Policy... policy is for the network... not the traffic carried other than commercial and spam/unwanted traffic...

i used compuserve for a very little while... never really liked it... especially since it was on a Model 100 with only a 40 character wide
screen and i think 10 lines tall...

My bad. I think I was thinking of an echopol somewhere? Or, was it
just a common expectation in fidonet echo participation via the
moderator/ rules?

Outch. 10 lines tall? Messaging would seem totally awkward.
Compuserve offered a robo-call program that would call up, collect the messages from the areas you were interested in, send off any of your messages or email, and disconnect. Then the same program was used to read/edit/compose.
