I agree that this is irritating and I still didn't get used to it. I  
guess this happens if the original, now quoted, text was not flowed,  
while the newer part is. So the old part is hard wrapped, and the  
flowed part is, well, flowing.

I find it easier to read the way we do it in Whups, and like we used  
to do it in IMP, i.e. wrap at 76, even with flowed text. Of course  
this causes problems if those lines don't fit into the window, because  
of small screens etc. Maybe we could use a max-width CSS layer for  
wrapping instead?
