Because you quote _only the part that you reply to_. And an autoreply does not 
answer anything that the sender may have asked in his message. The content of 
the reply does not have anything to do with the original message content.

Full quotes with no reply associated to the content of the message are 
discouraged everywhere, IMO.


Look at it the other way: Why do you think it is a good idea to have a 
different handling of plain text messages opposed to multipart ones? 
I understand that it's way more difficult to handle multipart this way, but 
wouldn't it be a good thing to have a common way to go and leave out quoting 
altogether (optionally)?

When two people send me mail and one gets a quoted reply to his plain text 
message and the other one gets a simple unquoted reply to his plain text 
message with a PGP signature, this is not what I want.


Well, stay with your opinion. It's not that difficult to write a mailbot 
replacement on my own. I'll go that way.
