The behaviour you describe here sounds like behaviour related to
*composing* messages, not receiving messages? Can you clarify what you
mean?

As far as I know, Claws' behaviour when *displaying received messages*
is to only display lines beginning with a quote marker as a quote,
whether the quote marker be ">" or "AB>" or otherwise.
e.g.:

> this line is a quote
> this line is also a quote
this line is not a quote

AB> this line is a quote
AB> this line is also a quote
this line is not a quote
