Even better (maybe), if all empty only the quote character compression is performed, but no line wrapping at all. (Together with a possible future support of text=flowed i no longer will have to bear firefox developers trying to fool me, and sending me unbelievable large screenshots.) (I also fixed possible misbehaviour with a "nonsense" first argument; *quote-fold* was added in 2012 and by then users' well behaviour was simply a precondition.)
