The settings there hint at various things that can be done for handling line 
length, wrapping, quoting, <CRs>  etc.

Personally, I liked the way Compuserve handled quoting.  It placed one 
start-quote tag at the beginning of a paragraph, and then an end-quote tag at 
the end.   Example:

Original text:

incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis 
nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. 
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu 
fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in 
culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Simple, and it can wrap or unwrap to suit the system reading the message.
