I understand that it may be necessary to insert the ">" when Gnus sends the message. But certainly the ">" that was inserted only to quote "From" should not be shown on the *receiver* side. Instead, when Gnus displays the received mail or (as in the case of the mailing list) a HTML page is generated from received mails, the ">" should be stripped. The main drawback I experience with the current behaviour is that even if you send the mail with Gnus, and also read the received mail with Gnus, the actual content of the mail is not preserved as intended. Using quoted-printable (as Andreas suggested) may not help with this, because this seems more of an issue with how Gnus or other clients display received mails. It is only a minor issue, though I still would appreciate if it could be fixed somehow in Gnus. Thank you!
