I disagree. Sometimes you are working in an organisation where Outlook is the main means of communication. If so, you need to (unfortunately) post messages that conforms to this style. This includes including the entire email chain below your message, as well as your own messages being HTML formatted.
I wrote an entire package to do this; formatting the emails using emacs-muse, and rewriting the DOM of the email chain. In case anyone is interested, here's the code: https://github.com/lokedhs/gnus-outlook-style It takes a bit of an effort to get to run properly, mainly because Emacs does not have a HTML parser so I need to call out to an external program for that. I'll be happy to provide advice for anyone that wants to try it though.
