Yes. And now we have 15 years of this bad behaviour.
My new financial planner had actually NEVER seen someone not top-quote, and
he actually thought his computer was broken, and couldn't figure out how
my text had moved. I do not think he realizes that you can even edit
the quoted text. He is less than 30, so literally, he has never used
anything else.
I've also been told that some organizations retain everything as audit.
(If they really wanted that, they should use message/rfc822, with an
embedded signature)
Such a nice social engineering hack on them to start CC'ing someone with
a made up "history" of some dispute, and claim it is true, alas, I've
never found a sufficiently interesting situation to bother trying it
out.
