Emacs bug. There isn't really a good fix. The real problem is that Emacs
needs to be told that the next line starts a new paragraph. However, this
is context sensitive and Emacs's built-in paragraph recognizing code can't
handle this. I remember that the "filladapt" package could deal with this
properly.
If you keep a blank line between paragraphs you will be safe.
The lame fix is to remove the ">" from adaptive-fill-regexp, but this
makes it harder to fill cited text.
I hope this helps.
