My thoughts on the subject, exactly.  If it's causing an individual problem, 
the individual solution would be for said individual to change the characters 
denoting quoted text, in the appropriate preferences location.  There's no 
need to change PAN itself, for everyone else without the problem, when it's a 
user setting, user changeable.
