Anyone following a thread will know what a response is referring to if it includes a 
line or two from the most recent post.  Any more verbiage than that is shear laziness 
on the respondent's part

Hmmm... reminds me of old queen Marie.

Instead of everyone else accommodating your, possibly unavoidable, reading emails a 
week late, why don't YOU set up folders in YOUR mailbox with the titles of threads 
you find interesting and then set your filters to route any email containing that 
subject to the appropriate folder.  As time passes, you can easily rename any folder 
and then redefine any filter to match.  You say you can't know ahead of time what an 
interesting thread will be?  Route all Ridecamp emails to a folder called Ridecamp, 
rename and redefine as above when you DO see an interesting thread, and then run your 
newly edited filter on folder Ridecamp.  Now all the pertinent emails will be in the 
same folder.  Very efficient.

It is always easier to just hit reply and have a default of "include original message 
in reply" than to edit a message and include just a line or two, but that costs more 
money for every system that handles the email.  Remember, not all of us are 
interested in the same threads, but we ALL pay for the excessive verbiage.
