>Description:
When typing '>>' in the beginning of a line, Gnats parses
this as a new field. E.g '>> text.....' after a newline
character would 'disappear' from its original location,
unpredictable behaviour so to speak. Seems like the 'new'
fields are put in the 'unformatted' section.

When you submit a report, the info in the textfields are 
parsed with the sub unparsepr. The result from this sub would
look like this:

'>Number: xxx
 >Category: xxx' etc...

If anyting inside a textfield happens to look like this, 
Gnats will try to parse this as a new field.

And unfortunately, most email replies would have the
characters '>>' at the beginning of each line.
