I would vote against using indicating the quoted text only at the start 
and end of the quotation (begin block quote and end block quote) 
because, if I am skimming down through a message it would be easier to 
miss than the disappearance of the '>' symbol.

And, if the user is allowed to choose the symbol, and the default is a 
'>', then no one needs to worry about additional complexity. Personally, 
I prefer the '>' indicator, but I know many people who like to change 
it. I don't see that having the opportunity to change the symbol 
complicates anything for the average user.
