Here's one that can be useful for quoting a whole DU post with a title or a DU Mail:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#dcdcdc; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; padding-bottom:5px; border-bottom:none; border-radius:0.4615em 0.4615em 0em 0em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"]TITLE GOES HERE[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#f0f0f0; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-top:none; border-radius:0em 0em 0.4615em 0.4615em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"][div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#dcdcdc; padding-bottom:5px; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-bottom:none; border-radius:0.4615em 0.4615em 0em 0em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"][b]TITLE GOES HERE[/b][/div][div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#f0f0f0; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-top:none; border-radius:0em 0em 0.4615em 0.4615em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"]MESSAGE GOES HERE[/div]

And this is what I'm using in my user style sheet (everyone's excerpts look like this in my browser):

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"][div class="excerpt" style="margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"][/div]

And I often use this in my own posts as a double check that my excerpt code is actually doing something (i.e. slightly different than my user style sheet excerpt code):

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #999999 inset;"][div class="excerpt" style="margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #999999 inset;"][/div]

Obviously there are too many possibilities for me to list what you can do by adding a little CSS to an div.excerpt element - for those wanting to try more, w3schools has a good CSS reference guide.
