I found an extension for Thunderbird that "folds" quoted material. So I 
no longer have to scroll right to the bottom of every message (more 
mouse miles) to see the comment that's been added. I also use another 
one that draws a left and top boundary around each different quoting 
level, and changes the colours of the quoted material. So deeper quoting 
levels have gradually darker background shades of grey. These 2 combined 
make it much easier to read this list.
