| I'm partial to this solution, because I wrote it, but:
| 
| - Upgrade your nmh to 1.5 (I see that 1.2 was released in 2005).
| - Use replyfilter.  See the NEWS file for 1.5 for more info.

 Unfortunately some Linux distributions are still shipping old versions
of nmh; Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian stable are both on nmh 1.3, for
example.

(As a side note, I suspect that people who rely on the system packaged
nmh never read the NEWS on updates and may be entirely oblivious to it.
I don't know what can be done about this.)

 My personal solution to the quoted-printable quoting issue is to just
cut and paste between the exmh display and my editor when I want to
quote something. I never actually use exmh's 'reply with quoting'.

(Since I sometimes use (n)MH from the command line and do use 'reply
with quoting', I'll make sure to switch over to replyfilter when our
machines upgrade to the next Ubuntu LTS and pick up nmh 1.5 with it.)
