This is really a PITA! I reply to dozens of messages each day, and
cannot afford editing the standard decorations of each mail. What you
see is the default way Rmail in Emacs quotes messages; if that's
deemed inappropriate (I must admit it's the first time in 15 years I'm
asked to do this), please someone submit a change to the Emacs
developers' list to modify this behavior.
Alternatively, why cannot your mail reflector convert them as it does
with the addresses in the headers? I _hate_ to be a slave of
software.

Yes, probably. But the thing is, only on Windows we can confuse a
colon that is part of a file name with a drive letter and with a Make
delimiter.

(Not only a Makefile, but _any_ file.) That's my opinion as well,
which is why I said I didn't consider supporting this too important.
But users are a funny bunch: they always tend to need the most obscure
features...
