It's apparently something that `fill-region' does. `fill-prefix' is
bound (by Gnus) to be (in this instance) "> ", and `fill-region'
seemingly wipes out leading lines that consist only of the prefix...
I think the proper fix is probably something in the filling code, but
Gnus could cheat by not including the leading line in the region to
be filled. The consequences might not always be what we want,
though...
