How about @?  @'s always in :)

Oh, I know, % >:)

btw, does attribution support optional entries, so when, for instance,
the person you're replying to only has an address field, only that's
shown, rather than * foo@bar (foo@bar) wrote: ?

MM/DD/YY is so braindead.  But then, what do you expect from a country
full of people who can't even spell colour :P

Anyway, I don't bother with the date, if you need information that
detailed, look up the thread, same rationalle for deeply nested quotes
who's attribution's been lost.  99% of the time, I doubt anyone cares.
