Try filladapt-mode:

    (require 'filladapt)
    (setq-default filladapt-mode t)

Filladapt is a very powerful filling mode that replaces the standard
fill functions.  It has many variables to tweak, but it also has a
very sensible default behaviour.  More importantly, it handles the
above correctly by default.

Gnus simply uses the standard quoting prefix.
