Im trying to write a program that will detect the reply portion of an email.

at least 1 > at the beginning of a line for 3 or more lines

can this be done with a simple reg exp?

Use the Multiline option for the Regex, then something like this should
match the replies:

(^>.*?$){3,}

(^>.*?$) works but not with {3,}

any idea why?

thanks

What do you mean when you say that it doesn't work? What happens, and
how does that differ from what you expect? Do you get any error message?
