It's the ">>>>>" that's wrong.  Many mail clients use a single ">" for 
each level of quotes, so your client's putting the 5 "shifts" before the 
attribution line ('"MTD" == Michael T Dean <mtdean at thirdcontact.com> 
writes:') makes it look like a 5-level deep quote.  (The initials before 
the ">" are annoying--primarily because most clients don't do the same, 
so it "breaks the flow," especially for clients that add nice formatting 
to the messages--but they're manageable.  I'll admit that the initials 
could be nice if all clients used them, but...)

Yeah.  Most assume that PHP does the right thing, but--depending on 
system configuration--it often doesn't.  I'd bet if you add the 
appropriate line to /etc/php.ini, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
