as a starting point for actually implementing it: in debian there is a 
package called t-prot - tofu protection; it's a perl prog intended to 
be used as a procmail filter - sounds like a very good start. 

as a special bonus we should pipe the existing database entries through 
it, halving the databases' disk usage and doubling its attractivness. 
could be tricky to keep it consistent through this process, though - 
depending on how long it would take, it would be possibly acceptable to 
just take the thing off-line. 

-------------------- 

dunno how configurable t-prot is. in any case we should remove any larger 
quotings of automatically generated text, even if it is not a full-quote. 

putting a link to learn2quote on some prominent locations would be the simple 
fix, but i don't consider it sufficient.

worked :)

Comment 3 Chris Howells 2006-05-23 02:58:54 UTC

I thought this has been fixed?

Comment 4 Chris Howells 2006-05-23 03:15:42 UTC

We'll so find out. There should be quotes below.

Apparently so. Please reopen if I've horrendously misunderstood the report.
