If they have been quoted "> > " and are wrapped badly you are
basically unable to fix it.  But if it is just long lines you can
correct for the content-type of outlook.

Use ^E to edit the content type, append to the end of the string ";
format=flowed" and that will correct to the formatting what outlook
should have set it to when it sent the message.
