I'm not a fan from rules and stuff. But how about defining
some rules for posting:
#1 at least 1 linefeed after a quotation
#2 insert a <skip/> tag ASAP (remove the parts you are
not refering)
#3 don't "re-use" the elzm footer (unsubscribe/subscribe stuff)
#4 max. 100 characters in one line (or 80 for good 'ol terminal
users)

Giacomo converted me to this style months ago, previously I was
the worst candidate in this list ;).
