could you (or someone listening and interested) please help
me writing a short example showing how to colorise the below
example only (at the bottom)?

I need a sample dialect able to distinguish between the
below samples that are difficult because I cannot know how deep
the quote goes...
My dummy (and inefficient) approach would be something
like (untested):
; *** Botton example is this ***
;
; > > Something has color2
; > Something has color1
; Something has standard color
;
either parse mail-string ["> > > " copy unquoted-string to end] [
colored-string: [red "> > > " orange unquoted-string]
] [
either parse mail-string ["> > " copy unquoted-string to end] [
colored-string: [blue "> > " cyan unquoted-string]
] [
either parse mail-string ["> " copy unquoted-string to end] [
colored-string: [brown "> " yellow unquoted-string]
] [
colored-string: [mail-string]
]
]
]
Thank you
Mario
