that's easy... it is those pipe codes you are using in your header... look at
them below... i've changed the pipe to a bang so you can see the raw code
easier...

looks like your last color setting is !01 which is dark blue for the three dots
terminating your quote header... it is a mess when viewed with software that
doesn't support it but if it must be done, one should set a default color at
the end of their sequence like has to be done when using ANSI to return to the
default color...
