Quoting in Emails?

Shanes asks: "I want to know how slashdot readers feel about the IMO ever worse quoting habits of people writing mails. When I started writing emails to friends and colleagues over 10 years ago I and everyone else quickly learned how to quote. These days most of the bytes in my inbox are "Original Message" quotes that Outlook people always include at the end of every mail. Doesn't anyone care about sending well edited mails anymore?" I have a simple rule, if I can't read it without editing it first, it's probably not worth my time. Do any of you get frustrated by the formatting of email in your inbox?

Spellcheck is an option.

I always send out my email after a spell check, M$ Outrage has an option to always spell check before mailing. Sadly it's not wise to flame your company's CEO for spelling. (on usenet you would look like a clown for that too.)

Frankly the argument is way too anal. So you don't like the way others send email, sorry. You can only maintain a higher standard for yourself. Send your's in a proper fashion and ignore the oafs.
