the internet standard is, I believe to use an angular bracket ">" for  
each level. How the mailer interprets this may be different visually  
but colours are frequently used by emailers. If not, you'll see the  
angular brackets. So I can't predict what you wil see below but have  
repeated the exact characters after a colon
