Nonsense.  A fixed quotation string is only needed if one is too lazy to
implement the solution correctly.  Take a look at Balsa, for example. 
Balsa lets you specify whatever you'd like as a quotation string, and
also lets you specify a regular expression to match against to determine
whether a line is quoted or not.

Besides, simply refusing to allow people to select their own quote
string in Evolution doesn't change the quote strings that Evolution has
to deal with (since *lots* of folks already use mailers other than
Evolution which allow them to select their own quote string).

Cheers!
