I think the existing convention is perfectly reasonable: anyone reading the message visually or with a braille display can instantly tell how many nested levels of quoting are associated with a given line of the text, without having to go hunting for and counting open/close delimiters. As others have noted, software can easily detect this style of quoting - in fact, Emacspeak reads it by using a different voice for the quoted text.
