Heheheh.   Clarification... If I would want to join a convo between two  
people and at least one of them already has 3-initial quoted lines, I  
found out that my R)eply would cause those lines to stagger when wrapped.

I guess that I could always just keep one or two lines of a previous  
message for the reply.  But a whole paragraph would require manual cleanup  
to make the block look right.

Otherwise, OXP generates a 3-inital quote prefix (as in this reply) just  
fine.

A direct reply to a 3-initial person is not to be feared. ;)

A message that already contains 3-intial quotes at a 2nd level seems to be  
the problem.
