How can Gnus highlight cited text in unprefixed articles?
Examples:

I think you can't add ' ' or \t' to gnus-cite-prefix-regexp without
breaking something.

Gnus should check /^[ \t]+/-cites if/and/or
-there is loose attributions
-Subject: Re:-, In-Reply-To:- or Reference:-headers exist
-there is headers at the article body.

'*' is used to cite articles and to bullet text. 

I think gnus-cite-prefix-regexp should convert to
gnus-cite-prefix-regexp-list. Check first item till there should not
be any citations left.

Something like: (dunno if regexps are working ones)
(setq gnus-cite-prefix-regexp-list
      '("^[]>|:}+»]*[]>|:}+»]\\(.*>\\)?\\|^.*>"
        "[ö%&]"
        "[ \t]+"))

   There's no reliable way to highlight articles that use just spaces
to indent cited text -- you'll get more false hits as you'll get get
recognition of cited text.

   Is this text cited, for instance?
