One of the more powerful ways is by using the super-cite package, which
seems to be part of the standard Emacs distribution and has its own
manual. If what you want is easily derivable from what mail-mode
already does, it might be easier to advice the mail-yank-original
function to do your standard edits automatically.
I haven't used rmail in at least ten years, so I can't suggest exact
recipes, but it shouldn't be too hard to work out.
