Bug 2874 ("> " quoting with f-f)

[Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, writing to the list since trac claims to have sent me a
password but apparently hasn't yet...

This bug happens for anyone without text_flowed set.  In that case
s->prefix is set to "> " and then another space is added in
print_flowed_line.  Before, there were complaints about getting ">foo"
for f-f; now we get ">  foo" (two spaces).

print_indent is applying s->prefix (i.e. Prefix, indent_string) for the
outermost level of quoting, i.e. the one added by "reply".  Then it's
applying a literal '>' for each level of quoting in what you're
replying to.  Then it's adding a literal space.  This seems very
confused to me.  Maybe it should apply s->prefix each time?

Meanwhile, I'm using this.  I imagine it will still lead to funny
quoting, like "> >>> foo", but at least it's better than nothing.
