Nobody - I was just pointing out that we (at least, Gustav and I do) get
this behavior and that's consistent with the code. OTOH, we *don't* all
get the same behavior with #+begin/end_quote and the behavior you get is
inconsistent with the code: you get picture mode, Gustav and I get
(confusing) questions about opening a file with ffap.

Not sure what the "best" solution is: sometimes they are ascii art and
having picture mode on is helpful, sometimes they are text and some kind
of text mode would be more appropriate. But they could really be anything
so *any* choice is bound to disappoint at some point/time and I'm not sure
org can be prescient enough TDRT all the time.
