In vim, you can reformat quoted text with the gq} command. It will reformat
the whole reply and keep the >'s at the beginning of the lines. It'll even
add the >'s when splitting long lines. It works for multiple levels deep and,
if a blank line between paragraphs, keeps paragraphs in order as well.
