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
