Hey, cool. Yes, that will make lots of folks happy. This really boils
down to an age-old religious war :-)

Um... Well, if you *really* want to make everyone happy, you can be a
bit more agressive in your trimming; there was a gawdawful lot up there
even though you only needed to directly reference the most recent part.
I think that a common misconception (IMHO) these days is that the entire
past history of the email thread has to be included just in case someone
new gets added and needs to catch up. I figure that anyone new can
either pick up on the background or get bounced copies of the original
mail instead of sending this vastly- and quickly-growing note around.
But that's just *my* opinion :-)

Another thing that might make mutt-mail more convenient for you is that
you don't need to include such a marker; when you run out of quoting
prefixes ('>' chars or, in my case, '% ' chars, for example), then you've
run out of quoted text.
