I know that when I was on AOL and used to use the "quote" button,
it didn't do any attribution at all. Maybe it finally does do it now,
but I haven't seen a single AOL soul here using the "quote" button or
however it might be done now for that to happen.

Jeannie, since you know what I'm talking about, maybe sometime when
you get a chance you could experiment with it and explain how to get
an automatic "____ wrote" line ahead of an AOL quote, if that is
actually possible.
