Following is a simple MOD to the VBBS4.BAS module of VBBS that makes the
quoting more UUCP friendly. It changes quoting on messages from UUCP to
have the header line:
"In Article <xxxx.xxx@somewhere>, Someone@somewhere (A person) Writes:"

Load up VBBS4.BAS
        In the sub 'writereply' find the following text:
      
  IF useransi THEN
    getny a$, "Quote From Previous Text?"
*   IF a$ = "Y" THEN quote re$
* END IF

Replace the starred lines with the following:
      IF a$ = "Y" THEN
                IF (d1.Extra <> SPACE$(64) AND ASC(d1.Extra) <> 0) THEN
                quote "In Article " + RTRIM$(d1.Extra) + ", " + RTRIM$(d1.FromS) + "@" + RTRIM$(d1.FromN) + " Writes:": quoted = 1
                ELSE
                quote "In a previous message, " + RTRIM$(d1.FromS) + "@" + RTRIM$(d1.FromN) + " Writes:": quoted = 1
                END IF
        END IF
