I do it manually too, but I just extract the whole mail into a file, chop out
the name and date from the header, and edit the file from there.  Our
mail is pretty cruddy, and if anything goes wrong, you loose everything,
so it's also safer to edit the file seperately.  Once they wire up my
dorm room and I get everything set up to run mail from my machine, I'll see
about installing something decent with good attribution features.  :)
