No, Gmail sends normal “Content-Type: multipart/alternative” messages,
where the first alternative is text/plain and uses conventional “>”
quoting, and the second alternative is text/html, optionally encoded
as quoted-printable, with <blockquote> quoting. The messages are valid
w.r.t. RFC 2822 and RFC 2045, and the text/html payload is loosely
well-formed HTML5.

I should really look at how Gnus renders (and quotes) HTML mail sometime.
