Hi Andre,

This is what I have in my config file(s). Unfortunately I cannot take
credit for these lines. They were yanked off of someone else's.

 set quote_regexp="^([   ]*[|>:}%])+|^[a-zA-Z]{,9}>"

 and then for a bit of colo(u)r:

  color quoted      cyan   black  # pager body
  color quoted1     red    black  # pager body
  color quoted2     cyan   black  # pager body
  color quoted3     yellow black  # pager body

I know this isn't exactly what you were looking for, but I hope it helps
a little bit.
