OFF: weird quoting

     Is it my imagination or is peoples' email software simply
incapable of including quotes in an identifiable method anymore?
It seems like more and more I see messages which completely
fail to mark quoted material in the normal fashion, i.e. with
">" marks.  In a lot of cases I find I simply can't be asked
to figure out which sections are the quotes and which are the
senders, and just delete it.

     Or am I just beset by paranoid delusions?

Cheers,
Carl
