    OK.

    When I was using boards back in the 90's I hung out a bunch
    on Relaynet/RIME. While I had originally used BlueWave, I
    switched to a reader, I think it was called MegaMail or
    SuperMail or something..

    would draw an ASCII art box, complete with shadow, around
    the quote and place it in your reply.

    I remember some people quoting that way.

    It also had a really good tagline manager, but I can't
    remember the specifics. I used to have a very nice curated
    selection of Taglines, but its gone now.

    I am not sure what you are asking. Perhaps you are looking to
    track down this special reader? Perhaps someone else can chime
    in with that knowledge. But I don't know the name of it. Sorry.

    Ogg,

    Wanted to pick your brain on this .... because you seem to have a curiously deep knowledge about offline mail readers.

    When I was using boards back in the 90's I hung out a bunch on Relaynet/RIME. While I had
    originally used BlueWave, I switched to a reader, I think it was called MegaMail or SuperMail or something. I recall it had a really snazzy way of Quoting text. When you quoted it would draw an ASCII art box, complete with shadow, around the quote and place it in your reply. It would have been a DOS program since I was a PC guy back then.

    It also had a really good tagline manager, but I can't remember the specifics. I used to have a very nice curated selection of Taglines, but its gone now.
