Hmm - I'd been wondering recently if I could finagle vertical lines 
instead of the '>' that I've been seeing. :)

I think Eric answered that one.

Now, does anyone know if it's possible to tweak Thunderbird to display 
text styles without the style delimiters themselves appearing? I like 
being able to use /italics/ but I don't really want to see the slashes. 
Same for *bold* and _underline_
