Apologies for all the concern the formatting of the quoted message in my
reply has generated.  I actually cannot see the multiple ">" you quote
here on my original follow-up message.  I can tell you I'm using Emacs
Gnus, and when viewing my un-processed message, that snippet looks like
this:

>> whatever_you_want_to_do_when_this_happens

Sure, the reflowing is probably a feature I've set up to wrap long
lines.  I know it annoys some people (mildly myself, as I haven't found
a fix), but when reading coding fora, I never really take quoted code
snippets seriously and always check the original post for these...
