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. :(

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

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