What is this "Thunderbird quote bar" you are talking about? There is no
special Thunderbird keyboard with a special "Thunderbird bar".
We all can only use the standard vertical bar | (Unicode U+007C), or as
everybody else.

TheBat! is in error because it does not render email quotes in incoming
emails of content-type=text/html.
TheBat! simply ignores quotes and renders them as regular text.
And on the other hand, in outgoing mails of content-type=text/html, does not
mark quotes as such, but as a spreadsheet, so that the recipient email client
does not recognize what is written for this mail by the author, and what had
he/she quoted. Even less access the quoted mail or web page using the URN in
the CITE parameter. Of course, eMail clients are not the appropriate program
for editing spreadsheets, so when the intelligence of a human reader grasps
that what is coded as spreadsheet is actually what the author had quoted, and
tries to use the text in the table, but will inevitable break the spreadsheet.

Mr. Gleason writes like someone who is known in his little circle of friends
that when he shouts "please kill me!" that he actually means "please kiss me!".
For him it makes no difference what he says, as long as his friends understand
his distortions of meaning.
But one day, someone not familiar with Mr. Gleasons ideosyncrasies will
understand his words as they are spoken, and then...
"Oh, says Mr. Gleason. It makes no difference what I say as long as my
friends understand my distortions"
