Ah, right.  Well, there's a lot of people who use various non-standard
quoting methods.  I doubt you'd be able to make them all work out of the
box.  You have people who use stuff like "Lars | Here's the quouted text"  
and so on.

But if I understand your code correctly, I think what you're doing is
fine, and people who use weird quoting styles will just have to cope.
(Or rather, not get the new, nice functionality.)
