I think that would be a bad idea.

That looks as though other people have been doing upside-down quoting too, but 
I'm not sure because I'm not sure what the digest does.

I propose the opposite:

* quote what needs to be quoted for context
* don't quote anything that doesn't need to be quoted
* replies to particular points go immediately below quoted material

This makes it easier to read and follow a thread, and is a far more comfortable 
way to understand who is saying what, and in reply to whom.
