Urrg. If a complete solution evolves, I'd consider it. But in the
interim vim fully honours "> > > " style quoting when reflowing a

paragraphs with ^WWW. That is cheap enough that full automation may

As the reflow leaves the cursor after the reflowed paragraph, that is
the time to decide whether to reply to the text - and if not, then hit
d{ to delete the bumpf not relevant to the reply being composed. If the
need for explicit reflowing of quoted text encourages more assiduous
pruning in lieu of profligate over-quoting, then let's keep it manual, I
say.
