I'm sure this happens here; they are pretty happy to top quote back and forth until I give a detailed properly-quoted response to their thread, after which they will reply with this color-coded style. This is either peer pressure (doubtful) or they see the value in proper quoting and are trying to do it with what they have (possible). I could at that point either smack their nose for using HTML (a bad idea when it's my boss' boss' boss doing it) or I can take some minimal comfort that at least they're getting the spirit of proper quoting. And take some more comfort that I'm following Postel's Law. Anyway, to the original question: the elinks and links family of text browsers can render HTML colors as ascii. If you use those as your HTML viewers you can get the colors and follow the quoting.
