I've got a collection of extensions that I used on thunderbird to help combat
this. I don't even notice anymore when someone messes up because of them.
1) Nested Quote Remover: does the hard work for replies You hit a big X on the
quotes button and they all go away.
2) Quote colors : Makes it easier to read history if there are nested quotes and
you don't know who wrote what
3) Quote Collapse: All quotes (including nested) can suddenly collapse and stop
wasting your message space. They default collapsed, so you see the response
immediately.
<3> is my favorite by far.
