If this is the intent, then Eve Community seems to have a good quoting
mechanism. Check out the boards at Ars Technica[1] or Eve Community's[2]
home page for examples. 

To be honest, though, it doesn't seem too hard... Just wrap the content
of a post in a <div> and harvest it with the "reply with quote" button
(or whatever your aim is). I think Eve Community also has selection
quoting, where, if you select a block of text and then hit "reply with
quote", only that block is harvested and prepended to your reply.
