quoting conventions in email

I'm not keen on the quoting convention used in the quoted message, which
I have slightly modified to not really obscure the identities of the
parties involved.  From the message I find it hard to find out who wrote
the initial portions and when, particularly when the message is then
included in other replies, and I have problems with determining the
boundaries of the response.  Perhaps we need some guidelines on
responding to messages, although I'm not keen on that either!
