You don't say what kind of machine are you on.  Do you have mailx?
If so, it's very easy to include "those cute little '>' or whatever."

With mailx, you ask to reply to mail with the

	R

Then you ask to include the mail with a

	~f

which should return a message like "interpolating" and the number
and byte count of the message you're replying to, that's just been
put into your mail reply buffer.

Then you edit the mail reply buffer with your preferred editor,
set up in your .mailrc file.  I use vi  (VISUAL=vi), so I enter

	~v

Once in the editor, I enter the following command:

	:v/^$/s/^/ > /

That is, look for every nonblank line, and, at the beginning of
those lines, put " > ".
