It has amused me for many months how this mailing list, populated by  
e-mail experts, manages to generate such huge  
quote-everything-in-the-reply-to-the-reply-to-the-reply messages. I  
sometimes find myself scrolling through pages and pages of  
quoted-five-times content before I reach the actual message!

Ah, but I am already using the best for me, Opera's e-mail client  
(database and views to find messages is much more powerful than  
message-in-only-one-place-at-a-time) ;)

Opera does format and colour quoted sections, but doesn't have any quote  
collapsing features. This isn't a problem, apart from when reading the  
MailScanner list! ;)

Cheers!
