Even when >-quoted?  That was the point... it's >-quoted so it /should/ 
show up pretty much as-is.

If it interprets it even when >-quoted, that's even worse, especially 
because the > is an HTML tag delineator as well, making it pure guess-
work at best as to whether that's a quote-mark or an HTML tag 
delineator.  Sure, > as HTML at the beginning of the line would be 
strange, but it'd be no more broken on the part of the sending client 
than trying to decide whether it was an HTML tag closer or a quote-mark.
