You're replying with rich text, for which Gmail has a lot of its own
custom CSS (e.g. the gmail_quote class). In Gmail I see the quoted
text as a purplish color, but it looks like you're editing out the
block quotes on parts. This prevents the normal '>' quote indicator
from being inserted in the auto-generated plain text.

Just reply-all in plain text mode and follow the conventions you see
in other people's replies.

Personally, reading and editing plain text with a proportional font
annoys me -- a lot. Here's a Greasemonkey script to use a monospace
font for plain text in Gmail:

Also, when you post code remember to use less than 70 characters per
line. Gmail has a 'feature' to automatically hard wrap plain-text
messages at about 70 characters, which it applies *after* you send
(i.e. there's no indicator in the composer... brilliant).
