First of all, does the example appear to have a "quoted lines to
original
lines" ratio of 2:1? Secondly, It appears to me is that the example
represents is not a pure "ratio" in generic sense but its "20 lines
quoted" vs "10 lines new text"
No, it's not 20 lines or 10 lines. And keep in mind, this includes
the headers which are by necessity not quoted, to you already have a
unquoted count of 10-20 (or more) lines. Basically, this recipe will
toss mail with AOL-styled 800 lines of quoting and "Me Too!" attached
at the end.
