You have:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
so you're relying on RFC 3676, which says:
"4.1. Interpreting Format=Flowed
"If the first character of a line is a quote mark (">"), the line is considered to be quoted ..."
That is, '>' is the canonical quote character in email and some (most?) MUAs treat it specially as a result.
People who don't use '>' for quoting are arbitrarily making the world a worse place, IMHO, with no discernible benefit that I can see.
But I did not change the quoting character. It was Thunderbird on its own, automatically and unexpectedly, when signing in a certain way/protocol on email with "Message-ID: <9399f4d9-5336-b6c4-8548-307389212c58@telefonica.net>" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Language: en-CA Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
