MORE info.  The problem occurs when doing a block reflow!

Hop over to FIDOTEST.  One message to observe the result is this one:

 EMP: /FIDO/FIDOTEST
 ABS: Michiel van der Vlist@2:280/5555
 BET: High ASCII in Fidonet
 MID: 2:280/5555 5dadb8a8

BTW, OXP does a great job generating the 4-letter quote prefix for  
"Michiel van der Vlist"

When that message is quoted, there will be two lines that begin with  
"MvdV>".   When the block is selected and reflowed, the staggering  
happens.

Reflow does not have this problem with 2-initial quoted lines.
