  Then why does HTML call them that?

  I read and post with the same software.

  The few times I used a browser software package to post, it added those
symbols at the beginning of every quoted line, same as software intended
for Usenet use.  It certainly does that when I reply to e-mails.  That was
the composer automatically invoked by the mail/news software included into
Netscape 4.7.

  However, I have done at least 99.9% of my postings with tin or slrn
running on a Unix shell account.  My guess is that they invoke Pine or
something similar for composing.

  Now I notice that whatever you are using is not adding them at all.
That can make things confusing when people used to this Usenet convention
of using these (or occaisionally alternatives such as colons) snip out
signatures and stuff from signature files to edit for space.

  Meanwhile, references are all in a single line that is one of the
headers of an entire article.
