Not very well.  The problem is that html mails tend to use indent 
tags, instead of the normal "> ", to denote quoting,.  So when you 
strip the html, the text flattens - then you can't tell who wrote 
what.

A hard limit doesn't always work well either.  Sometimes a post is 
just so convoluted that even after you've removed the noise, you end 
up with a lot of necessary context to quote.

Tell your mail client to view some messages in their raw form, so you 
can visually review all the headers.  There are some useful / 
interesting things there!  Mailing lists aren't consistent with 
header use, tho.  So I tend to just filter on the To header, or 
sometimes "any" header.
