No, HotdogEd reflows quotes mostly fine when displaying them, with the quote
prefix (with or without initials) at every line.

I'm not thinking only about HotdogEd, but any reader to be used with small
screens (e.g. PhoNews, and I guess NewsTap on iOS)

HotdogEd can have very different number of columns depending on the device
resolution and the text size you specify in its settings. Long lines would
work better for all.
