Nope, it works fine for me, without effort of any significance. The "problem" of scrambling standard email quoting when reflowing arises only when a poster uses an incompetent editor to compose a reply. When I reply in-line to a post, and break a quoted paragraph before a sentence, and the paragraph rump needs reflowing, then the ordinary gq} command respects the quoting, just as insert automatically prepends "> " to the new line. That's with Vim as Mutt's editor. Doubtless Emacs can do the same. (And with gq} mapped to ^W, I just need to think "wrap", rather than "gobbeldygook".) OK, I haven't tried Vim's continuously active "flowed text" mode, so cannot report on how that handles quoting, but then I don't see the point.
