This isn't exactly what you had in mind, but if you use vi as your
editor, define a macro to do it for you:

map ^Xc :%s/^>/:/^M

Variations are possible, such as changing all > characters that occur
prior to any character that is not a > and not whitespace, etc.

(To enter ^X, type ^V^X;  do likewise for ^M.)

If you do not like ctrl-x c, then you can change this to pretty much any
thing you like, well, any sequence of characters not otherwise usd by vi
(that is why I begin many of macros with ctrl-x:  vi does not use
ctrl-x).

In the new Pine 3.92 release, you can set "reply-indent-string" in the
Setup/Config screen...
