>I find it useful to have the "Enable auto quote" feature turned on by default, when creating replies to messages. However, one thing I've never liked about the way that currently works is it puts a ">" symbol at the start of each line in {pre} blocks, as well as for the body text.

If there is no prefix, we will not be able to know if the content of the pre block refers to the same message you are reading, for example. You can have 7 levels down for example. One user can keep that text in a specific reply in the chain and add another pre block, then it becomes impossible to know who posted it.
