First let me say that it makes me cry that you want to do this, because 
it means that you have eschewed inline editing of replies, which every 
right-thinking email user should do. But since I am merely tilting at a 
windmill, you want something like this:

defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmReplyWroteString -string '> From: 
${from}\n> Subject:\n${subject}\n> Date: ${date}\n> To: ${to}'

The only real problem I saw with the above is that a long Subject will 
end up wrapping to the next line in a weird way. Perhaps there's some 
way to hack around with that. But that will mostly get you what you 
want.
