I don't have a solution for something that works directly in the editor,
but I use a set of small programs to accomplish this with external
filtering.
Since typically an overlong quoted line has an entire paragraph, I just
filter the that line through "qtwrap" to get the desired result
(typing "!!qtwrap" in vi).
qtwrap:
#!/bin/sh
unquote | fmt | quote
quote:
#!/usr/bin/perl -ni.bak
print "> ", $_;
unquote:
#!/usr/bin/perl -ni.bak
s/^>\s?//;
print;
Hope this helped,
Mikko
