For a balanced view on this one may also note that not trimming is
polite and helpful for an email reader that doesn't have access to
previous posts in a thread. Some mailing lists recommend members to
quote just enough of earlier correspondance so a new reader can kind
of get a general understanding of what the thread is about.

I suspect many users on this list don't even know how much of previous
posts are quoted in their own posts because they are using modern
email applications that just shows you the stuff recently added (still
keeping older text hidden in the email document).
