My personal solution has been to only call org-mime-htmlize on active
regions, ensuring that the htmlized text is of my own making and leaving
the quoted mail as plain/text.

I'm not sure of an existing mailer-independent method of recognizing
quoted mail (especially given the variety of different ways of quoting
mail "> " "| " etc...).  It is probably possible to use mailer
(e.g. gnus, WL, etc...) specific functions to notice quoted mail,
however that could complicate the org-mime.el code substantially.

My gut feeling is that this feature may be more work to implement and
maintain than it's worth, but I could be wrong.
