+1 (but I always hit 'L') It can work well on a busy thread, both to avoid inflating the thread with multiple fragmentary replies, and to put all of the information regarding several facets in one place, for the record. (I use it only very occasionally.) It can be advantageous to swap the order of the quoted messages for a more logical flow in the reply, and trimming of the quoted text is even more important in the case of several long messages.
