See attached screenshot - 95% of that message was quoted text. And in recent days I've seen stacks of posts like that by various people. It is a real pain to read any messages like that, having to scroll two or three page lengths before I actually get to a reply. Also think about visually impaired users with screen reader.

Come on people, use some Netiquette! Trim those quotes to only relevant text.

All email clients these days are message thread based, so if we wanted the full discussion or context, we can read it ourselves easily - you DON'T have to quote everything!.

Regards,
