Hi Ryan,
Do you quote the previous entries in later entries, with the '>' character (as above)? I ask this because that will
make what you are requesting much more complicated, soon making those previous entries very difficult to read
indeed.
For me, readabiliy of previous quoted entries is important - along with the indenting '>' character to denote each
entry - your request would be an issue for me simply because of how many times an entry may get re-quoted in later
replies - over 40 is not uncommon. As such, I tend to keep my lines short when writing an entry, being aware
that it could soon have a large number of '>' characters preceeding it.

Not an aside as such, but I have tried to experiment with this quoting business, to remove the '>' character (easy
enough) but have each quoted reply headed with a simple date/timestamp *within* this text box, such as I headed this
paragraph. It hasn't worked as I expected, and I'm not sure why - maybe it might even be a bug! But if that
could be cracked, then your suggestion would be a boon to me as well.
