I seem to have left out part of what I was intending to type. I judge
whether something is a quote or not on the presence of a greater than sign
at the start of each quoted line in plaintext email, the HTML formatting
that renders as a vertical bar at the start of each quoted line in HTML
formatted email, or the headers used to separate quoted text in Outlook. A
mail client that marks up the text you type to be indistinguishable from
text you are quoting is seriously broken.

Typically, they will say something like, "On <date>, Xyz wrote" and then
quote part or all of what someone else wrote, without adding any comments
of their own. I am relying on the use of the > prefix on plain-text quotes,
or the bar prefix on HTML quotes, or the header on Outlook-formatted text,
then it is seriously broken.
