mu4e use the gnus/message machinery for citing, which allows for all
kinds of styles, including the one that Outlook uses; see
    mu4e-compose-cite-function
and then the various way to configure it,
   
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/message/Insertion-Variables.html

This should give you a start:

(setq
  message-yank-prefix ""
  message-yank-cited-prefix ""
  message-yank-empty-prefix ""
  message-indentation-spaces  4
  message-cite-reply-position 'above
  message-citation-line-format
  (concat
    "-----Original Message-----\n"
    "From: %N\n"
    "Sent: %x %X\n\n"))

Cheers,
Dirk.
