I mean this, when you have quoted several levels of a quoted text, like
this...

...why they are not separated by a functional empty line, making them
thus more readable, like this...

...or otherwise reading something like this (with even more levels of a
quoted text)...

...then it's a bit sloppy and hard to read, and particularly if you are
routinely going to reformat (Ctrl+L) just one of the levels wanting it
in your reply, it (oops!) reformats all of them inside the
bunch/cluster.

I notice such quoting so frequently lately that I got impression it's a
new "feature" not "tweaked" yet properly, which produces this holiday
for eyes.

I couldn't imagine that someone is that mean to do that...hm, manually.

Okay, how many of you manual ones are into this? Are you aware that
Axelle is on her way back, ready to use her axie to make some functional
empty lines between the multilevel quotes...and the other parts if
needed?
