It could.

It makes it easier to distinguish a quote from the rest of the MSG.

For the record, I'd rather not quote at all but if we're going to do it then keeping true to the words quoted and having them distiguishable from the rest of the MSG is a nice touch.  The above looks good from this angle.

Life is good,
Maurice
