Personally, I like the following method of quoting..

 NB> The '> ' prefix is definitely more universal, not only for
   FTN, but newsgroups and email as well. However, initials
   don't bother me much if they're there or not, as I don't
   usually look at them, and normally don't quote past the
   first level anyways. <NB

IOW, just put a quoted block between two quotes.  One at that  
beginning, and one at the end of the block.

Or.. even something simpler without the initials..
