DEFINE MACRO QUOTE
FIND BUFFER QUOTE
insert;set quiet
insert;change; er -l 9999(i> ^Z -2l) ex
insert;set noquiet
FIND LAST
DEFINE KEY GOLD Q AS "EXT QUOTE."

If I want to quote a message, I hit GOLD Q in EDT.  I want to choose 
whether to quote (i.e. prefix each line with some symbol) each message I 
reply to, forward, etc.

Has served me well for more than a quarter of a century.  Thanks Ken!
