Except for format=flowed messages, you can turn this behavior off by changing
this preference:
user_pref("mail.quoted_graphical", false);
See

> When [a] line is broken due to length, this graphical bar gets interrupted.
This sounds like a message that was composed by a client that doesn't implement
format=flowed. If the line has been wrapped in the message source and yet not
prepended with the '>', there is no way to tell that it is a quote.
See bug 168420 for information about f=f, including the informative FAQ attached
to that bug.
