Two comments:
1. I think you missed the instruction I was pointing to in my earlier
   response[1]; I'm quoting it below.
   
     Specify whether to prefix each line with > of | for the previous
     email messages that are forwarded or replied to, if you chose to
     quote original text.

   If you use the above, level of quotes are easily distinguishable.
2. The signature string is "-- ": that is two dashes, followed by a
   single space.  Without the single space, the special meaning is lost.

Hope this helps,
