Whether that shows up is a function of what MUA you use to read the
message, or perhaps what the list software does. I use Mutt and your
posts show a ">" before the first character of the first line of quote
and a "+" before each subsequent line of the quoted passage. Also, you
don't isolate the quote from what you write with one or more blank
lines top and bottom. This adds to the confusion, at least for me.
