Seriously, this perfectly illustrates the reason why PGP hasn't seen
widespread deployment: it doesn't address a use case that anybody
understands or cares about,
True story: Last Saturday evening I was sitting waiting for a piano
recital to start, when I overheard the person sitting behind me (who
I happen to know is a retired chemistry professor) say to his
companion "Email is funny, you know - I've just discovered that when
you forward or reply to a message, you can just change the other
person's text by typing over it! You'd have thought they would
make that impossible."
Yes, they should have made that impossible.

Its humiliating to think that there are tendencies to "restructure"
quoted text just to fit the common dimensions, i.e., 80x25, look
pretty -- the integrity was long gone!
