Hi,
I really like the forum and think it is in general a great idea to
support both: mailing lists and a modern forum. 

What somehow lowers my happieness is that a measurable portion of the
posts (probably coming from the mailing list interface) do add useless
redundancy by quoting the complete previous post. Quoting is great for
referencing certain parts of a mail. But when you quote the whole mail
by just pressing the reply button of your e-mail client, you are
generating lots of "quote spam" which doesn't cover any information not
already there and makes the threads a real pain to read. Post in a
thread are more than isolated mails. They are already referenced to the
previous posts by their subject. There shouldn't be a need to repeat all
the things the previous post said. 

Is there a way to automatically purge "complete mail quoting" from the
posts, at least in the forum branch?
