It is worth mentioning (since I routinely see it missed it these
discussions) that leaving huge chunks of untrimmed quotes makes it much
harder to find the _relevant_ archived message because of all the
irrelevant keyword hits.

Quote trimming helps put relevant stuff in the email flow and keeps
irrelevant stuff out.
