| I lost your original post, where you wrote an URL of that feature

The URL can be found in the actual BodyText.php file - look at the headers 
to the is_quote() method.

My (lame) beginning code can be found at:
http://bigworm.colorado.edu/imp-patches/BodyText.new.phps

The biggest problem I am running into is this - The code is not "smart" 
enough right now to distinguish between a wrapped line and a line break.

For example, the following reply text:

> > 1. One
> > 2. Two
> > 3. Three

Will be justified with my current code like this:

> > 1. One 2. Two 3. Three

Somehow the code needs to be written to distinguish between this example 
and this example

> > Words words words words words words words words words words words 
> words
> > words words.

Which should be justified like this:

> > Words words words words words words words words words words words 
> > words words words.

etc. etc.  I think some kind of lookback will be necessary to determine if 
the word on the second line should actually (by looking at the length of 
the word) be with the previous line.
