I think there is a bit more to quoting than just prepending a quotemark;
it also depends on the email format.

I guess that that function (with splitlines() perhaps) would do for
"text/plain"; but for "text/plain; format=flowed" (note the qualifier,
quote formatting is explicitly defined in an RFC, and you might want to
 use a specialized module to handle that.

<plug mode="blatant">I have such a module at the ready at:

  http://www.zopatista.com/projects/formatflowed

which handles correct wragging as well.</plug>
