	Doesn't help me though... Agent shows quoted material as blue, fresh
text as black.

	I tend to not see a one-liner at the top (since it is next to the
attribution line) and if the rest of the page is all blue text I hit
page down... and down, down, down... looking for black text... Then end
up going "Wha', where's the new stuff?" and having to scroll back up to
find a one-liner cuddling up with the attribution line.
