Hi.
First off, sorry for being offtopic, but the tc mailing list does not
seem to answer to my subscription request. I know that many gnus users
also use tc, so I'll just post this here.
I have been annoyed by tc's behavior (leaving empty lines that mark the
end of a paragraph hanging around with a "> ") long enough now that I
made a small patch to tc.el:

This removes all text on cited paragraph break lines, so stuff like:
>> foo
>>
>> bar
>
> baz
looks like:
>> foo
>> bar
> baz
which should be just the behavior you know from supercite.
There is just one problem with this thing: It does not detect lines that
are using a cite prefix other than ">". Otherwise, it works just
fine[tm] for me.
Enjoy (as always, comments are very appreciated),
