As far as I remember its defined in RFC 1855. Certainly been the '>'
character for the 20 years or so I've been using email...It may have
originated from one of the original *nix or DOS mailers but was certainly
broken by Microsoft when Outlook came along (just like they broke default
cursor position which should be AFTER the text being replied to).

Each nested quote (which should of course be trimmed) adds one level of
'>' characters so you can see who said what - as you can see above, it
looks like Hads said the whole lot...

All emails should be in plain text (no html), trimmed where appropriate,
quoted and bottom posted (or interleaved if it can be easily seen who said
what!)
