In the reply text area, each quoted line is preceeded by a quote mark. Empty lines, however, are
not. This results in empty lines between quoted successive paragraphs in answer postings, which
makes those answers more difficult to read.

    It's not a bug, it's a feature :)

    It's not very likely, that this will be changed in the future, at most on a per-user base.

    Not fixed? But hey, it's totally illogical this way. ;-)

    The Bat! handles it exactly the same way ;) I think, it improves the attendance to write an answer below the regarding paragraph instead of the end.

    hehe, my intention while implementing the quoting this way was to make the articles more readable ;-)

    I think, we can convert it from bug(?) into a real feature if we give the admin the possibility to switch on/off
    this in main configuration (e.g. <Quoting [...] EmptyLines="1|0"> in fo_admin_default.xml)
