That was my initial reaction, too, but then I realized it doesn't have
to be HTML mail.  This could be implemented (one possibility) so that
PMMail itself simply recognizes if a line begins with the > symbol.  If
so, it would color that line, even for plain text mail.

The idea being that PMMail simply colors the line when displaying to
you, without adding HTML code.  The downside, if you can call it that,
is that if you then reply to someone who doesn't use PMMail, the reply
section may or may not be colored when they read it.
