Markup for quoted text in a message looks generally like this:


<td class="alt1" valign="top">
<p><blockquote><span class="smallfont">Quote:</span>
<hr size="1"/>
Originally posted by <b>author's name</b>
<br />
<i>quoted text goes here<br />
</i>
<hr size="1" />
</blockquote>
<br />
message text goes here
</p>
<span class="smallfont">
<a href="url of post ID">Report Post</a> |
IP: <a href="url of post ID">Logged</a></span>
</td>

BLOCKQUOTE may not be contained within a paragraph or inline element. So, Opera closes the <p> as soon as it encounters BLOCKQUOTE; therefore, no blank space is inserted between the end of the message and Report Post | IP Logged.
