Please don't!  This will only make the article harder to read for
everyone.  If you're the administrator of a news system and you don't
like article being rejected because of the percentage of included text,
then change inews.  If you can't change inews, then prepend a space to
the lines beginning with `>'.  This will fool inews and will make the
article more readable in most cases.
