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.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
