Don't know to change or even if they do, can't really. If I started quoting the right way at work, it would confuse people to no end... they wouldn't know where to find my response inside of Outlook's awful message display interface (marking replies inline with [name] tokens? WTF is that?). I had to hobble my copy of Mutt there to mimic Outlook's reply style as closely as possible with the existing variables. There's a serious "when in Rome" factor to consider. Or as the Apostle Paul put it... "I have become all things to all men, in the hopes that I might somehow save some of them". ;)
