Just hitting enter twice would quickly break the quoting apart.

If you'd started out using mail clients that auto-rewrapped the quoted
text, too, using a too-simple algorithm, you'd hate having to deal with
poorly quoted text.  The entire prior message turns into a blob of
indistinguishable quotes of quotes and comments.

Boilerplate:  All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is
no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages
posted to the mailing list.

The mindset of software designers: You know that feature that you, and
many thousands of other users, found useful? We removed it, because we
didn't like it. We also hard-coded the default settings that you keep
customising.
