Oh, interesting corner case you spotted there. HTML does nesting of 
blockquotes just fine. The problem here seems to be that Thunderbird 
doesn't recognise blockquote as a quote, and needs the leading '>'.

How does this message fare? I've hacked up my script so that it 
actually keeps the '>' even in the HTML, but uses CSS to hide it.

in africa some of the native tribes have a custom of beating the
ground with clubs and uttering spine chilling cries. anthropologists
call this a form of primitive self-expression. in america they call
it golf.
