The message editor has a lot to do with quoting, so it's not just Synchronet. If the mesasge editor is written specifically for Synchronet (such as one of the JavaScript message editors), they can format the quote lines, keeping in mind how the quote lines are provided by Synchronet.  But if the editor isn't aware of Synchronet (such as Nano or something else), then perhaps the quote lines are in a format that the editor isn't expecting.
