You've cut so much context, left so many dangling prepositions, you've
left me confused as to what we're discussing.  I suspect you've become
confused, too - the original scenario had nothing to do with
`text-quoting-style'.

Maybe later today, I'll try and reassemble the context and answer you.
But it really would be helpful if you would be less obfuscatory.
