As an aside, I use the "It's all text" firefox plugin to let me fire up the editor of my choice (gvim, in my case) for any web text box. Then I'd use the editors features to format it. I can't remember how to do the line wrapping stuff in vim, but :s/^/> / should work for the quoting, as with the sed example someone else gave.
