That's how almost all usenet and mail readers do.

Almost all usenet and mail programs quote the original post automatically.
Almost all usenet and mail programs put some "Foo wrote" above that quote.
Almost all usenet and mail programs use "" to indent quotes.
Almost all usenet and mail programs do something special with "-- ".
Almost all usenet and mail programs wrap long lines automatically when editing or sending a message.
Almost all usenet and mail programs some method of attaching files and retrieving attached files.

Perl Monks is neither usenet nor mail.

I like the stacked "Re: "s on Perl Monks. I like single "Re: " for usenet and mail.

Update: PS: I'm not saying that Abigail should not edit node titles.

    I didn't say it is. But it doesn't hurt to look away from one's navel and consider how others are dealing with things. And sometimes, others do it better, IMO.
