Well, I'm not the David you mean, but since I can Google "aol
mail quoting", I can in fact post the answer, from the first hit:
10. APPENDIX A - Using the AOL Mail Program
AOL offers two ways of quoting text in a "reply",
which are mentioned below. The user is forced to
use one of these two options, and each one adds
angle brackets to the quoted text. There is no
option to "turn off" the quotes in a reply.
AOL style quoting:
<<This is an example of AOL style quoting.>>
Internet style quoting:

To select between these two options, go to "my AOL",
select "Preferences", click on the "mail" icon, and
choose the style you want at the bottom of the list.
And I would strongly prefer "Internet style" as well. What can I say,
us old fogeys have just gotten used to having things work a certain
way. Arr, you young whippersnappers and your HTML mail, mumble,
growl.
