I really like mutt's ability to color quoted text.  Unfortunately, it
appears to only be able to recognize quotes on a single line.  On some
mailing lists I'm on, people use multiline quoting mechanisims that
mutt doesn't understand.

An example:

>>>> This is the beginning of the quoted text.  It continues for a bit
and wraps onto other lines.  This line doesn't have any prefix, but
it's still quoted.
<<<<

My questions are three:

Is it possible to have mutt colorize the entire quoted area above?  If
so, how?

If not, can I have mutt filter a message through an external program
before viewing the message?

Not entirely mutt-related, but does anyone know, off the top of their
head, if there are any perl modules for manipulating email messages.
(If I have to parse the message externally, a perl module that
understands headers and MIME would be a big help.)
