If the >>>s aren't a standard, they are at least a widely supported  
convention. I don't think I remember using a mail client that didn't  
use them, and it must be five years since I used one that didn't  
colour different levels of quotation differently.

If people don't quote clearly, quote so much text that there's no new  
content on the screen when I load the email, or top-post or otherwise  
show themselves unwilling to provide me with context, I tend not to  
read their emails. I don't suppose most people consider that too much  
of a loss ;)
