I endorse your proposal on heavy-handed quotation. (Maybe the list could be
programmed so that if a quote appears in the first 5 lines, the message gets
bounced. ;-)) Better still would be to avoid quotes altogether -- remember
the antiquated pre-email devices of reference and allusion? At the very
least, quoting should be the exception, not the rule.
