I see it the opposite way, leaving too much context wastes people's time
searching for the actual reply, see also [1].

If someone wants the full context, previously sent mails are always available.

Not a big deal, but for you to note: Quite some of your replies I've received
recently add text to the quoted parts, in this case the "Okay people. :)".

that's the actual condition which causes the change.
