Can anyone recommend a program/shell script/editor plugin etc, that
can take arbitrary text as input and quote it like email programs
quote emails with a preceding "> " character?


GNU Emacs does this.  In the Emacs 22.2.1 I run on Lenny, I put the
'>' character before first couple of lines and then fill-paragraph
(M-q).  Emacs than formats the paragraph width and puts the quote
character before every line.
