As mentioned earlier, gmail may be behind a lot of this.  It's very good at
hiding quoted text from the person writing replies.  Many, many, many
screens of text can be hidden behind a single "show quoted text" link.
Making it appear as if there's only a tiny bit of text.  It even does it
when reading messages if there are more then 3 or 4 levels of quoting (all
but the top 2 or 3 are hidden).

For reading, it's great.  For writing, it's handy.  For others, it's not
such a great feature.  :)

Like everything, it's all about the tools.  Some people have tools that hide
a lot of the complexity that makes everything super simple and easy for them
... and a royal pain for everyone else (kinda like Windows).  :)

In the end, it all comes down to user education.
