Thunderbird behaves the same way, so we decided to mimic that behavior.
It is specified neither in RFC 2822 [1] nor in RFC 5322 [2].
When we write an email, we write it with a maximum width of 72 columns.
If we insert "> " with each reply, the 80-columns limit will be reached
with only 4 replies.
So IMHO we should trim the extra space to allow up to 7 replies before
reaching the 80-columns limit.
