Stripping quoted text to the relevant would be a HUGE improvement.
Some Mails arrive with quotations that are extremely hard to read,
due to lack of visual clue, like vertical whitespace and indentation
with quotation character.

original comment 5
original sig
[zz] 2nd sig
When the ratio new/quoted is small, then (a) stripping to the relevant
is often inadequate or hasn't been done and (b) explicit top or bottom
posting is preferable.
Suggestion to [zz]:
- change your quoting style (quoting char, vertical whitespace)
- did you really need to quote "original comment 2", "original comment 3"
and "original sig"?

Would that I could change my quoting style. My MUA, supplied by the
organisation that supplies most of the world's MUAs, will put in a greater than
sign as a quoting char provided you sent me 7bit .
But should you use quoted-printable, then there is no quoting character and I am
reduced to inserting XML style tags.

Suggestion to [yy]:
- change your quoting style (quoting char, vertical whitespace)
- did you really need to quote anything besides "[zz] comment 4zz" ?
