I'm setting up a fud forum to pipe messages to, and receive messages from, a mailing list. That is working fine.
But when a message from the forum is forwarded to the mailing list, any quoted text from earlier messages is no longer highlighted as being quoted text and looks as though it is part of the new message.
On the forum quoted text is distinguished by being in a separate box.
Usually in a mailing list quoted text is marked with angle brackets e.g.:
> quoted
> > double quoted
maillist.php is successfully removing the fud quote tags, but can it be made to replace them with mailing list quote marks?

1. Apologies, I probably should have put this post in How Do I instead of in installation?
2. I've had a poke around and I'm wondering if function make_replace_array in theme/default/post.php is what I need to look at? And if so then what are the values that I have to put in table 'replace' and will doing that break anything else?
Thinking about this, it isn't necessary to replicate mailing lists quoting with angle-brackets, probably simply a marker (replacing the fud quote tags) such as beginning of quoted text and end of quoted text should be useable?
