C-c C-e inserts too many linefeeds

C-c C-e inserts too many linefeeds

[Kai Großjohann]

I really like the idea of providing C-c C-e, but I often use the
following style for indicating omissions:

> bla bla bla [...] blurb blurb blurb

WIBNI there was some way to let C-c C-e _not_ insert the extra
newlines?

I read this and thought me too, and then went and found that it's
trivial to change.

(defcustom message-elide-elipsis "\n[...]\n\n"
  "*The string which is inserted for elided text."
  :type 'string

I have the value "[...]" and it still inserts a newline (in front).
