Ärende: Quoter - bad quoting reparing
=====================================
Hello, All!

Just in case, I'll explain how to repair bad quoting with Quoter
program. Suppose, RW wrote to NB, but that guy has in his disposal a not
very good quoter. So, when RW starts writing "LOL!" he sees bad quoting
 ">> ". Quoter can repair it. First, RW puts his initial into Initials2
field and NB initials into Initials1 field.

The starting text:
=========Beginning of the citation==============
>>Hopefully you have the patience to wait until then. I didn't and had
>>my 1st Corvette when I was 30yo. I would have had it at 25yo, but the
>>new 65 Malibu and Camaro caught my eye first.

 NB> I've had my share of cars in the past. When I was 16-25 I was nutty
 NB> over the import drag racing scene.

LOL! Wait until you're my age and say that. I've had more of those old
muscle cars than what seems to have been made...
=========The end of the citation================

1-st way is easy, but not very cool. Select the paragraph with ">>"
without initials and replace " >>" for " RW>>".

2-nd way. Select the bad quoted paragraph and remove all the quoting
from it (use the pop-up menu). Then select it again and format "format +
level with 2-nd initials (RW)". The first paragraph must have the level
2, so you do this operation 2 times. So, the text will be quoted and
formatted well:

=========Beginning of the citation==============
 RW>> Hopefully you have the patience to wait until then. I didn't and
 RW>> had my 1st Corvette when I was 30yo. I would have had it at 25yo,
 RW>> but the new 65 Malibu and Camaro caught my eye first.

 NB> I've had my share of cars in the past. When I was 16-25 I was nutty
 NB> over the import drag racing scene.

LOL! Wait until you're my age and say that. I've had more of those old
muscle cars than what seems to have been made...
=========The end of the citation================


When NB receives it back he can increase quoting with RW initials and
then to write his answer:
=========Beginning of the citation==============
 RW>>> Hopefully you have the patience to wait until then. I didn't and
 RW>>> had my 1st Corvette when I was 30yo. I would have had it at 25yo,
 RW>>> but the new 65 Malibu and Camaro caught my eye first.

 NB>> I've had my share of cars in the past. When I was 16-25 I was
 NB>> nutty over the import drag racing scene.

 RW> LOL! Wait until you're my age and say that. I've had more of those
 RW> old muscle cars than what seems to have been made...

Bla-bla-bla
=========The end of the citation================


Some hints: When you correct your whole message it is not necessary to
reformat every paragraph after it was changed. After your correction you
can select all the text (except the title) and reformat it in one
stroke.

But remember that when you write your own text, your paragraphs must be
separated buy empty lines, or these lines will be united in one
paragraph.

Two adjoining lines are considered to be different paragraphs if they
have different initials or quoting level.
