Which I'm sure will be ignored, I can't have been the first person to
object about that behaviour.  It's been a common-enough complaint on
many different mail programs I've seen over the years.

The usual argument I saw was that it's *easier* for us to *simply*
prefix all prior text with "> " (quote prefix and space) rather than
bother to check if there's a ">" already there, and just insert another
">" without a space.
