interesting experiment.

Ahh but quoting the relevant is much easier when all is quoted in
reverse order.  Now that I'm replying to your's this way, I have to
edit out the middle.  Fortuneately, emacs allows for easy editing such
as this.  Yes, I'm usually lazy and probably most often push in my
reply and then send it on its way.

I usually very much dislike having to go through the old stuff before
getting to the good/current stuff.  But then mutt came along into my
life and I can now hit the 'S' key to magically skip over the old and
get to the new; if it is interspersed withother old text, then I can
hit the 'S' key again and I skip up to the next block.  Sure makes
mail reading much faster.  Mutt is the only e-mail client where I have
found this feature.
