That is the one.

There is a difference between the CSS I posted and that at the URL 
above, which is that mine doesn't have the ''border-color'' lines.

The difference is that with mine is that the attribution *and* that 
posters text are the same colour, even though they are at different 
quoting levels.

To use this post as an example, with my code the line ''> Roy Smith 
wrote:'' is darkred as is what he actually wrote, ''>> Hi,'' whereas 
with the border-color lines ''> Roy Smith wrote:'' would be black and 
''>> Hi,'' would be darkred.

I prefer not to use border-color because it means that the name of the 
poster is in the same colour as their message which makes it easier, 
IMHO of course, to see who wrote what, but obviously you use whichever 
style you prefer.
