Research direction
The issue requests a new function to return the quotation part of an email message, complementing the existing `quotations.extract from` which returns the main message. First, examine the current implementation of `quotations.extract from` in the repository, likely in a file related to email message handling. Then, consider how to separate the quoted text—common patterns include 'On ... wrote:' or '>' prefixes. The solution should be a new function, perhaps `quotations.extract quoted`, that returns only the quoted portion. Check if there are any comments or linked discussions in the issue for additional context. No existing PRs or assignees, so this is available for contribution.
