Thank you for doing so, it's much appreciated.

Yes, screen readers can indicate the > at the beginning of the line if
the spoken punctuation level is raised high enough. I am however not
aware of any screen reader which has the ability to skip the speaking
of a line of text based on what characters are at the beginning of a
line. There is an option in nearly every screen reader that I'm aware
of which can skip reading blank lines instead of saying "blank" but
that's all. If you know of screen readers which can skip speaking
lines based on what character that line starts with, I'd like to know
which screen readers those are. The way I deal with quoting in mutt is
by using shift+s. I am not aware though of any other e-mail clients with
such functionality.
