Wouldn't this have happened first in email, like Mail or mailx?
Hard to say, I'd guess sometime in the 1980's?

Where can I find source code for various versions of
netnews?
In particular I'm looking for B news 2.10.1.
A historian is trying to track down where the ">" was first used in quoting
news or email. It's not in 2.10 (I do have that source code) but I suspect
it's in 2.10.1.
If anyone recalls where this originated, please let me know.
Thanks!
