That just makes: „ „ „ „ ? Did I disable / have to enable something? I'm
using aquamacs emacs...

Ok, I knew about that one thanks... I later found out something pretty
awkward:

To quote manually 

1- Mark the region, or the entire text with 
        M-x mark-whole-buffer   C-x h 
2- Add the "> " using the rectangle command 
        M-x string-rectangle    C-x r t 
3- Set the fill prefix by moving past the prefix and 
        M-x set-fill-prefix     C-x . 
4- Filling paragraphs using 
        M-x fill-paragraph 



Best regards
