But today's mail-clients are capable of detecting citations (by that nice >-
quotation markers in front of the line) and can fold these parts or format to 
a smaller font-size. Why can't (screen-)readers detect and skip them?

I concur that is is a hassle if 30-mails are quoted. But the normal and 
generally accepted behaviour is to answer below and only quote the relevant 
parts[*]. And to use quotation-markers. Nothing worse then an outlook-user 
answering directly inside your text without quotation-markers...

But if its better accessible for you, we can all switch to text above, full-
quote below and html :-)

Have fun,

Arnold
