The quoting is not particularly bad. But usually quoted text will be a set of "> " at the left edge. Superquote is putting the persons mail name in the first part with an indention. That is frequently used when people are quoting several different people in an interspersed way as a method of identifying each. So it is not an unheard of quoting style. It is still seen frequently. But the four space indention on the front shifting everything to the right is an odd addition. I don't prefer it. But not a terribly big deal either way. And, probably the real reason it looks odd, neither mutt nor emacs-vm nor probably other mail readers recognizes the syntax of that quoting style for me and so does not syntax highlight with color differences the main text and the quoted text. We have to look at it in plain old black and white. (Or whatever your basic foreground and background colors happen to be.) Which is unusual compared to the common method of quoting which facilitates simple syntax coloring. After using ansi terminal color for a while you get adicted and don't want to go back to that vt100 in the corner. :-) > Gnus is a pain to get set up.
