a) will work only in html replies
b) will add a good amount of css code to the resulting html. if the
styles for all the five levels were to be written, it would easily add
a couple of kbs to the mail. is that acceptable?

thunderbird seems to override css for left and write borders. below is
a sample of the mail i was tweaking around with to add quotecolors
styles to mail replies:

it looks perfect on any browser. but on tb, the left border style
(solid) is replaced by tb's default (double (?))... couldn't override
that. any pointers?
