It looks damn fine to me. I can follow the number of >> to see who wrote
what.

Not if you can actually count, you can't, because your
newsreader is lying. The first level of quoting should have
*one* quote chevron, not two. What's up there looks as if
there should be a response between my message

Your newsreader is inserting one quote-chevron too many
every bloody time, and I'm getting tired of fixing it
manually every bloody time.

Oh, and if it were working properly, you could dispense with
the damned 'X wrote:' lines.
