You mean like that?
Generally that's accomplished by simply replying to a message. How
this happens is affected by several configuration settings. The first
is $attribution, which defines the line at the top:
On Friday, September 1 at 09:40 AM, quoth Jz:
You set this by adding a line to your ~/.muttrc file that looks like
this:
set attribution="On %d, quoth %n:"
Each quoted line above is quoted by prepending a "> " in front of it.
This is defined by $indent_string, like so:
set indent_string="> "
Finally, mutt will only use $indent_string to quote the message if the
$include setting is set properly. $include is a "quad-option", which
means it can have one of four values: yes, no, ask-yes, and ask-no. If
mutt isn't including the test in your replies, then it's probably set
to "no" (or it's asking and you're telling it "no"). The default,
which is what I usually use, is ask-yes. Set it like so:
set include=ask-yes
