Just a titchy detail: I have a very good offline newsreader (Agent 1.93)
which I've been using daily for donkey's years, in various versions. But
it is not configurable to collapse quoted text. Sad but true.

When it was built, chunks of nested quotes were less common in posts.
Maybe most newer programs, like Mozilla, have been built to help users to
ignore it?

I just tried Thunderbird 1.5 and it doesn't do it as standard, you have to
load an extension, but it then works as you describe
https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/347/

There's also an extension which automagically removes nested quotes when
you hit "reply" - this'll probably find it's way into Mozilla if it isn't
already useable (hint, hint ;-)
