Hmm, I didn't know that my regexp was so close to the default. You're
right, the default will do the right thing, but in this case, the
original poster was using Sven's muttrc, which has this very simple
setting:
set quote_regexp="^> "
This regexp will always match the same length of text, so it will only
recognize one quote level, or none.
The chief difference between my regexp and the default, is that mine
gives fewer false-positives. If someone sends me a nice ASCII-drawing
chart of some kind, Mutt doesn't go crazy colorizing it. :)
