The way I do it is with the following in .muttrc:
macro index $ ':set indent_str="> "^M'
macro pager $ ':set indent_str="> "^M'
macro index % ":set indent_str='"
macro pager % ":set indent_str='"
Then, when in the pager or index, I hit "%" and then enter something
like:
DT> '
Which then makes the indent_str='DT> ' which will accomplish what you
want. When I'm done I just hit "$" in the pager which reverts back to
the standard indent_str.
There's probably a much more graceful way to do it but this works for me
;)
