That inspires an idea for a feature - the ability to configure Evo
so that when replying/forwarding, the quoted text can be piped through a
script of the user's choice.

How about it, Evo devs?

Here's an example of a possible quoting filter script, one which labels
the quote differently when the message came from a Microsoft employee.
(assumes that arg1 is 'from', arg2 is 'subject', arg3 is 'date')

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys

(mailfrom, mailsubj, maildate) = (sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2], sys.argv[3])

if 'microsoft' in mailfrom.split('@')[1].split('.'):
   print "On %s, this Microsoft wanker %s spouted off about %s" \
      (maildate, mailfrom, mailsubj)
else
   print "On %s, %s was heard to say" % (maildate, mailfrom)
for s in sys.stdin.readlines():
   print s
