If (like me at work) you're forced to use it, you can kind of get the
Pine-style quoting.  In O2k, Tools --> Options --> Preferences --> Email
Options; in the "On replies and forwards" section.  It linebreaks in funny
places, though.

It is little-known that there is a port of Pine for the PC, if you prefer
that.  It does IMAP and everything if I recall correctly.  Though if I
were forced to use a PC mail client I'd definitely look into Pegasus Mail,
which I remember loving five years ago...

I'm lucky, Telerama (plug from a satisfied customer not on their payroll)
gives me a shell.  You have to ask to get a "real" Unix shell, though,
rather than a menu-driven one.  (Though menu-driven may be fine for your
needs.)
