Extend email_quote to accept regexes

[samuel@…]

Several email clients (importantly, including gmail) prefixes reply quotes with the line:

"On <date> <somebody> wrote:"

Email2trac is currently unable to strip this from messages using email_quote. However, this could easily be done by allowing email_quote to accept regular expressions.

The only modification necessary to make this work is to change line 1067 in email2trac.py.in:

• if line.startswith(self.EMAIL_QUOTE):

+ if re.match(self.EMAIL_QUOTE, line):

I should have used a trac literal block in the summary.

Again, the modification necessary to make this work is to change line 1067 in email2trac.py.in:

-            if line.startswith(self.EMAIL_QUOTE):
+            if re.match(self.EMAIL_QUOTE, line):

Thanks for the suggestion and patch. I will rewrite the strip signature. There are many patches improvements, see Roadmap milestone:strip%20signature/quote

(In [607]) email_quote can now handle regular expression, closes #173 -- This line, and those below, will be ignored--
