Given a file named SomeTextFile, you can do your own quick-and-dirty
like this:
fmt --width=72 SomeTextFile | sed 's/^/\> /'
You can also use the clipboard selection with xclip:
xclip -o | fmt -w 72 | sed 's/^/\> /'
This won't handle multiple quote levels or anything really complex, but
it should suffice for what you described.
