That's exactly what I'm doing with gmail... except it collapses the quoted text, making it much easier to deal with. (whether it's by a top-challenged poster, or a top-poster ;-) ) Actually, when it's a bottom post, sometimes it doesn't collapse the message because the > are off somewhere, making it so you have to grab the scroll-bar and plunge it down fifteen zillion lines to the actual one-sentence message.

That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
