At least here on this list people "Top post" or "Bottom quote" which is easier to deal with when you use something like Apple Mail and VoiceOver and let VoiceOver auto read the message to you. But I think it a good idea to clear out the more past parts of message quotes and just keep the most recent or next most recent message portions in the quoting. I have also heard complaints in the past on other lists from people in other countries where they are charged for excessive data transfers so they wish often for smaller messages to be downloaded.
