I’ve not tried your patch, but I like the idea. When using NMH, I like to use a paragraph reformatter before sending, and fmt(1) was terrible because (as you note) it can’t handle the reply quoting. You may want to extend your idea a bit and do what par (ports/textproc/par) does. This is a paragraph reformatter that takes the quoting into account, replacing it after the paragraph wrapping.
