It has been discussed on this ML already. Org mode is not Message mode
and ">" prefix means nothing to it.

Also, it has its own set of special prefixes, which are not found in
Fundamental mode. For example, you can never have " : " as a fill prefix
since it creates a fixed-width area.

Therefore, I don't consider it to be a regression since it's not an
expected feature in the first place. But I admit it is still convenient.

Maybe we can introduce some support for `adaptive-fill-regexp' in
paragraphs and comments filling. Would you mind testing the following
patch?
