The recent changes aren't perfect, I've seen a few versions of the
following in just 2-3 days.  Original text:

`----

When quoted with recent Gnus it looks like:

,----
| >>I think some servers MIME parse messages and store them in another
| >>equivalent format somehow, and when clients requests RFC822-messages
| >>it reconstructs MIME delimiters and MIME headers.  All the

`----

Maybe the assumption that quoted lines are always preceeded by a blank
line is too much.  My feelings is that it's difficult to get AI to
work, especially intelligent AI. :-)
