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.
