What you suggest may not be possible. "Gardenbanter" is a web-based
interface to several usenet gardening newsgroups. Although, the
web-based service differentiates quotes by color, it may not
distinguish them when passing to a text-based NNTP service. Also,
there seems to be a bit of a problem with the page's coding or with
the user.... I did not register and so do not know how the interface
is presented to users who reply to posts.

From what I can determine, the entire "xxxbanter" hierarchy is a
half-baked commercial effort to capitalize on usenet. Sort of a grand
English "Googlegroups" rip, I guess you'd say. Maybe it'll get
"better". In a perfect world, of course, it simply would disappear.

You may be right but I seem to recall seeing other posters from there whose
messages had attribution by indented symbols.
