So if you don't what no linux Stevie wonder to post in this list is your
decision. But I don't agree with it.
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
