Someone posted an indepth explaination about a month ago, unfortunately I
don't have access to my archives at the moment to find out exactly who or
when, but the basic idea is that since TB supports the

syntax, then if the line does not start with a space, and there is a >
somewhere in the first 20 or so characters (I'm not sure of that figure),
then TB will treat it as a quote.  Unfortunately it is a byproduct, and not
a bug.  I don't think there is anyway that TB could support the above
mentioned syntax and not exhibit the behaviour you mentioned.

So the workaround for outgoing e-mail is to always indent your paragraphs
by a  space or two.  Unfortunately I don't think there is a viable
workaround for incoming mail.
