Unfortunately, the Auto Text functions don't have any scripting interface (yet), so that cannot be done. You'd have to purchase TextSoap so you can use its scripting addition ($20), or write a vanilla script to strip ">" or "> " from the start of lines. I use a script that <decrements> the quote level, one level at a time, which I sometimes find useful when pasting in a chunk of deeply quoted material. It's an old Emailer script; it could probably be adapted to just strip all quotes. I'm hoping that all the auto text functions will get scripting support soon within Entourage.
