Well, that didn't work at all :-) I forgot that I had recently been 
experimenting with using markdown and that seems to have made a mess of 
things. Let's try this again:

If I have a message that looks like this:

+ quote level 1
++ quote level 2
+++ quote level 3

And then do "Quote Less" once, it turns into this:

+ quote level 1
++ quote level 2
+++ [...]

Do it again, and it turns into this:

+ quote level 1
++ [...]

Again, and it turns into this:

+ [...]

Not sure what to call this: "collapsing," I guess.

There is one oddity here. If the first quoted line is the first line of 
the message, then nothing I do collapses it. This is the case in your 
example, so you can try putting a blank line above the one line in your 
example and try it again.
