How is the div style from gmail-sent messages (gmail_quote) formatted in other mail clients?

I'm trying to format quoting of emails similar to gmail. I noticed that gmail formats the original message with a div that has a style class of gmail_quote. How do other mail clients pick up this style? Is it up to each of them to implement that on their own and display it properly? If so, is there a commonly understood (published) reference to what that style is?

<div class="gmail_quote">

Dear YALDA Please see emails and link below....we hope the deadline has not passed. YALDA team ------------------------------------------------

Would it be appropriate to share the link below with the YALDA e-mail lists? A subject line like "Economist Debates: Africa and China"- Weigh In on the Debate! would be fine, but we can also get creative if you want with it! Pretty sure today is the last to provide commentary, so I hope we can send it 开发者_JS百科out!

Thanks, Martha_________________________

I think it is up to every client, sorry to answer my own question. I noticed Zimbra formats it this way:

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
