Yeah,  but if you get switched over to their "new improved" way of doing 
things (which they apparently did to everybody without asking) then use a 
mail software that only shows you the text portion of things and not the HTML 
part,  which is the case here with me using kmail,  then you never see any of 
that stuff unless somebody quotes it.

And not trimming that stuff out of quotes is just plain rude!
