I didn't realise you are from SFU until you mentioned your university!
I used to be a student there too, so I happen to be familiar with their
email system.  As far as I know they use Zimbra.  I think you are using
the web-interface.  In the configuration you can set the quoting style.
See the 3rd last bullet under "Composing":

Following this, you can easily do interspersed quoted replies.

Hope this helps,
