Most of the time I actually do not want to have hard newlines for 
cited text. For example citing you above I still want it with 
format=flowed, generally mail viewers do a good job presenting it 
in the right way for any line length, at least emacs and my 
android phone do. If you really want a hard newline you can use 
C-m or C-o to insert it. The only issue I have is when copying 
code. Generally I yank the code, mark the region and use 
multiple-cursors mc/edit-ends-of-lines to insert the hard 
newlines. I should write some code for a special yank that 
substitutes newlines for hard-newlines.

I do not use supercite, so I don't know either.
