I'm not convinced the logic is correct yet - the behaviour is still
different to the old editor.  Previously, quoted text was added "as-is"
so no formatting was imposed (i.e. "pre-formatted"), and new text had
"normal" formatting.  Now, all the text is "normal" even the quoted
text - which even at relatively low quoting levels makes things look
horrible.  As an example take one of the messages in another thread. If
I reply to it the quoted text looks like this:

==================

(the "3.12.11" is a left over from a previous quote formatting)

The orphaned single words just gets worse and worse as the quoting
level gets deeper.
