Another way of seeing this is that quoting is not about "your happiness"
(nor mine) in particular. It's more about widely-supported method
(technical question) and widely-understood and agreed-on method
(social). I'd suggest that you quote with "> " prefix on every line, add
an attribution like "Torben Knudsen wrote:" and don't have Gnus
automatically refill the quoted text.

Just my suggestion. I find Supercite quotations most annoying.
