Right, but I don't think there is normally a space there otherwise
either. For instance, when replying with (quoting) the original in
Gnus, Gnus and/or Message don't insert a trailing space after the '>'
when there is no character on that line.

Thanks, it does seem to cover this case. But now, there's a trailing
single space after the first '>' with no other characters after it.
Would it make sense to remove that once the filling/reformatting of the
paragraph is done?
