GNKSA[1] (which pan follows) strongly encouraged quote with reply-in-
context underneath format, so AFAIK, no.

However, pan *DOES* have a nice feature (also mentioned by GNKSA) of only 
quoting the selected text, if any was selected when followup/reply was 
triggered.  So (accessibility issues aside) it's relatively easy to select 
say a single word or character and reply to that, then erase it.

But generally if you're not quoting at least a few words or a sentence of 
context in ordered to reply to indicate appropriate context, arguably 
you're doing it wrong, and the defaults are there to encourage you to do 
it better.
