Currently, when I want to include a message to which I am responding
I run it through the following sed filter.

#! /usr/bin/sed -f

1,/^$/D
s@^\(>*\) *@\1> @
s@^\([^>]\)@> \1@
s@^$@>@

This just keeps a running list of '>' at the beginning of each line.  In
general it works okay.

But I keep hearing about mhl and wondering if it's better.  Can mhl automatically
wrap lines that have gotten too long and still keep the correct number of '>'
at the beginning of the newly wrapped line?  I haven't figure out how to do
that with sed yet.
