Something is just escaping me here. I'm importing a mailing list and wanted to place every line following '>' in a FUD quote.

The subject mangling works fine, but I can't seem to get the body mangling to do this. Each post that comes in show 'No Message Body'. I'm strongly suspect this is a problem with my syntax.

I've read every post (I think) on body mangling and quoting but just can't seem to get it to work and was hoping someone can help me with the proper syntax.

To help clarify, an example of what I'm trying to do is this:

ORIGINAL

CHANGE TO

Currently using v2.7.3

Thanks,

I tried a couple examples in the forum because I'm regex ignorant. Confused

I was trying 'does this do?' trial and error. Not the best way to go about things, but it works sometimes.

One of those was this:
"^(>\s*)+.*"
"s"
""

Though I did just see your post on prce @ php.net so, I'm going to head over there and try to get a little smarter about it.
