I'd agree with that; the other approach would be to redefine $editor to
a filter that invokes your real editor. That's just messy.
I use genuine vi, rather than vim. Here's what I have in my .exrc for
this purpose:
"" Remove quoted signature, up to blank line
map ; :/^[ ]*> -- *$/;?^[ >][ >]*$?;.,/^[ ]*$/-1d
(If you use this copy it literally, not with cut and paste. It contains
TAB characters.) Pressing the semicolon key finds a quoted signature
and deletes up to the next blank line. If you do this first thing upon
entering the editor, it essentially deleted a quoted sig, leaving yours
in place, and positions for you to append. It does not handle multiple
levels of quoted sigs, though you could adapt it to fairly easily.

Indeed -- or worse. I predict worse.
