Well, here's a case where the quote prefix is actually 2 characters
long. There's also the option to use the first or even full name of
the sender as a prefix. That can be easily as long as 20 characters.

Another option not made clear to you in this thread is that you can
completely side-step the whole issue by putting a space at the
beginning of a line which contains a chevron.

Like this:

 This -> line won't be coloured as a quote nor have an extra chevron
 in it when replied to.

Re[2]: Strange quoted text bug

[Yuki Taga]

Thanks both Thomas and Devid for clearing up the mystery. Apparently,
however, you can't set it to zero, just 1.  If you actually enter a
zero in there, it resets to 1 when you close it.  But 1 is fine.  Why
is the default set at 20, I wonder?

TB will look whether there is any 'greater than' in the first 20
characters (if you have changed the default), and then treat anything
before that as quoting prefix.

How can TB know whether or not you 'mean' it this time? ;-)

Hello TBUDL,

In the Editor/Viewer Preferences the "Quote name limit" is set
to 20 characters by default. If you change this to 10 (for
example) the problem is solved.

Strange quoted text bug

[Yuki Taga]

All:

When quoting certain strings of text, TB! apparently is adding a 'greater
than' character when it finds such a character in a text line, rather than
just at the beginning of the line.  Notice the exchange below, to which yet
*another* 'greater than' has been added, as a result of pasting this
message as a quote.

Oddly, even though this problem is becoming comical on the line above . . .

It is not being screwed up on the line below.

PU>> Should be: BuRBoOC:=If(O > X,(O-X)/(THL),0);
PU>> Only one greater than needed.

Anyone know what's happening here, or how to avoid this?
