True, I must admit I wasn't thinking that it should be done automatically.

Thought it could be an interesting little side project for someone. When 
an email comes in, somehow analyze it against previous articles in the 
thread & the levels of indentation (the >'s) and take only a select 
(read definable) number of lines from the older articles and leave any 
new text intact.

hmm the Ruby Auto Message Decrufter :)
