Not an <, John, it's an >. Placed in front of the preceding message, it
indicates the alluded to message is "lesser than" the reply. After two
un-trimmed levels of > in the replies, the importance of the message(s)
alluded to is so minuscule as to not be worth the candlepower it takes to
send the bits back across the void yet yet again again. 

That's regular correspondence. If you receive something with a bunch of
nested <, or >, and want to plagiarize it to pass it on to someone else as
your own, just do a search and replace on the offending symbol, replacing
it with.
