Not sure if this will help, but in the web/msgs/reply.ssjs there is a block:

template.body=msgbase.get_msg_body(false,parseInt(http_request.query.reply_to),
true);
if(this.word_wrap != undefined)  {
	// quote_msg adds three chars to each line.  Re-wrap to 76 chars...
	// with the extra three, we're still under 80 *.
	template.body=quote_msg(word_wrap(template.body,76),79);
}
else  {
	template.body=template.body.replace(/^(.)/mg,"> $1");
}

might get you started on a solution
