I don't know what you mean by 'nesting is allowed', but this seems like
something that could be fixed so that it would "just work". (I know, it's
a very minor problem, and someone would have to carefully read the text
to figure out why it seemed that the quoting was "wrong" in this case, since
one of the quote chars is a > symbol intended that way.)

and of course, the "real solution" would be to use format=flowed, but the
same people who argue that probably argue against using a text based editor
too.
