It took me an entire morning to figure out how to do this.  If you're
using mh mail, create a file called .replfilter containing the
following:

---cut here---
:
body:component=">",compwidth=0
---cut here---

When you run repl, it will quote the text automatically and put in the
'>'s.  Using your editor, you can pare it down as you please, or delete
it entirely.

If you want to reply to a usenet article and are running rn, type R to
quote the text for an email reply, and F to quote the text for a
followup posting.  r and f work the same, but don't qoute any text.
