It has become quite frequent that I see quoting errors. The symptom is that in
a message the line breaks of a previous message are incorrect, i.e., the line
is not broken before the quoting character. Consider this example. The message
header says:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The source code viewer shows this perfectly quoted snippet followed by a
response:

If the coproc has some problem and doesn't exit immediately, `wait' without
options will hang. That's why I opted for the sleep/kill-as-insurance
combo.

I'll attach a screenshot of how it is rendered. Note that part of the response
is still rendered as a quotation even though there is an empty line between
quotation and response.
