Well, I got two replys to my message, and since at least one fixes the
problem I'm not in need of more :-)  Here is a summary...
(Oh, and if somehow you missed the original question it was "I can
almost get rn style quote attributation, but not quite; how do I fix
what I have?")

The first was from Tim Theisen <tim@cs.wisc.edu>

He also included a patch to the mh bug he mentoned.  I'm assumeing that
he posted it to the net, but I'll hold on to it for a few days and
send them to the net if that's a bogus assumption...   (Is it poor net
style to re-post anothers patches?)

The other reply was from gregg.g.wonderly@att.com, he said

So now my filter looks like this:
:
body:component=">",compwidth=0,offset=0,length=80,overflowtext="}"
