HTML has a hierarchical structure.
<div class="quote">
quoted content
</div>
It's far better than trying to keep count of how many ">" are in play, and deal with the vagaries of soft linebreaks and hard linebreaks and wrapping of plaintext.

Luckily Thunderbird is smart enough to do this. I don't know about other clients.
