No. The last line (the one you typed most recently) should have nothing
in front of it but instead has '> ', which is the convention for "this
is quoted material" (and of course now it has two copies of '> ' since
I'm quoting it back to you). IOW it's exactly the same as the rest of
the message, which actually *is* quoted material, so there's nothing to
distinguish it.
