No. Parsing the whole message before displaying it would be
basically equivalent to the "bottom" function, which would be annoyingly
slow for most messages.
BTW, Mutt doesn't just count the '>', if it did it wouldn't be able
to catch Emacs-style quotes "User>".

You can emulate this behaviour with macros, just issue a "bottom"
and a "top" when you enter the pager. Slower than just "bottom". :-)
