    Which news client supports the FL> quoting style? I only use smartquote, because Thunderbird uses ">" for quotes.

    This Sylpheed supports ftn style quoting, I set up the quote string as "%I> ", and now it is working just fine.

    Also in HotDogEd (Android news reader) it is possible to set the quoting to "FTN". It however won't work ok if "def_showto on" is set in jamnntpd. :(

    Right. I thought if Wilfred saw it, maybe others spotted it too.

    Well, Wilfred is The Police of Everything FTN related. And I like it! :D

    It's nice that someone is working on smapinntps. Have you added the
    newer changes from jamnntpd 1.3 too?

    I think so. But I am no real C programmer, I still have much to learn.

    I've installed Claws Mail (fork of Sylpheed), which has the same feature. It's not really proper FTN style quoting though. For the first reply level it's fine, but then it gets messy


    instead of


    Until there is no dedicated plugin for FTN quotes, smartquote is the best option (IMHO).

    it! :D

    I know ;)
