Well, it breaks up the continuity of the thought of an email.  It also
promotes one of two things, either removing the entirety of the previous
email, or leaving a big honking mess at the bottom of the email, just
like the one that you sent had.  What is probably the most courteous
method of quoting is to post your messages within what you are quoting,
underneath the text you are referring to, and removing any texts that
are not relevant to your response.  This email is a good example.
