I'm amazed that screen readers and email software haven't developed to a point where they can cope yet. It was almost a decade ago that I discovered that mutt (a free email client) had the ability to skip past quoted material or hide it entirely. If this is a problem - then please petition the authors of the software you use to make it compatible with RFC 1855. In the meantime - if you are going to top post, then please TRIM your posts.
