Easy. Just add these lines to your user.js file:
user_pref("mail.quoted_graphical", false);
user_pref("mail.quoteasblock", false);
user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);
In W2K/XP it is located in
\Documents and Settings\<windows user name>\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\<moz_user_name>\XXXXXXXX.slt
Not sure about W98, but it's the same directory as prefs.js. Note that
user.js probably won't exist so create it (containing just the lines
above) in the same driectory as prefs.js.
Oh, BTW, if you want different colours for different levels of quoting,
add these lines to userContent.css (in the Chrome directory immediately
below the one where prefs.js is):
blockquote[type=cite] {
color: darkred ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote {
color: darkgreen ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote {
color: darkblue ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote {
color: purple ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote blockquote {
color: teal ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote blockquote
blockquote {
color: gray ! important;
}
Change the colours to suit personal taste :-)

It's for NS 6, but most/all applies to Moz as well.
