There is actually a setting that you can tell Evolution to not quote the 
original email.  You hit reply and it gives you a blank email, but uses 
all the right headers and subject line.

I used to use it (and it's where I first found the "highlight-quote"), 
but it got somewhat unstable for a while, then there was the whole 
gtk1-gtk2 move, and spell checker issues as well.  I'm not sure the 
current state of Sylpheed.
