I think the only thing that needs to be done is for posters to hit the 'enter'
button to start a new line when they go in and mess with the quoted portion of
the post.
And if the preview screen shows a problem, that should be the first clue that
there is a line wrapping problem, and those can easily be figured out how to fix
(ie hitting enter).
