Among my favorite features as well, and I rarely edit "after" hitting
reply.  It is, however, supported by kmail, Apple Mail.app, iPhone Mail
3.x, and Thunderbird (with a plug in), to my knowledge.  Maybe more
clients which I have never tried.

Ironically, thinking back 15-18 years ago, it was the aol users we hated
because their mailer didn't quote anything and it was hard to gauge
context.  You would get an email that just said, "yes" from someone you
hadn't recently asked a question.
