Look into SuperCite. From my .xemacs:

--<cut>-- ;;; This last part is for supercite. It does not need to be specifically ;;; tailored to Exmh, but here is my configuration:

(autoload 'sc-cite-original "supercite" "Supercite 3.1" t) (setq sc-nested-citation-p t) (setq sc-reference-tag-string "") (setq sc-citation-delimiter ">") (setq sc-citation-leader "") (setq sc-nuke-mail-headers 'all) (setq sc-mail-warn-if-non-rfc822-p nil) (setq sc-citation-leader "") (setq sc-confirm-always-p nil)

(defun my-sc-header () (insert sc-reference-tag-string (sc-hdr "On " (sc-mail-field "date") " ") "\n" (sc-hdr "" (sc-mail-field "sc-author") "") (or (sc-hdr " <" (sc-mail-field "sc-from-address") ">" t) (sc-hdr " <" (sc-mail-field "sc-reply-address") ">" t) ) " wrote:\n" ) )

(setq sc-rewrite-header-list '((my-sc-header))) (setq sc-preferred-header-style 0) --<cut>--

Its a deliberately lightweight setup (I don't like SuperCite's default quoting pattern using initials). However it works very nicely as regards recognising quoting patterns.
