Outlook QuoteFix is what I use.
http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/
I load it when replying to cygwin and get rid of it afterwards.  No big
deal.

And there is OE-QuoteFix for Outlook Express
http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/

And to not take credit from others, see the archives:

Maybe this should be a FAQ or added to the explanation of the
PCYMTNQREAIYR acronym.
