I'm not arguing, just trying to make sure I understand what you're saying:

Are you saying that if I send you an e-mail, and you replied back to me, that there are e-mail systems that can parse the resulting text to put my original message at the top of what I received back from you and your response below?


Like this:

<< Original message from NatCh >>

<< Reply from tompe >>

And then when I replied back to you again, my new response would go at the bottom of that new reply?


If I'm understanding what you're saying, then I'm afraid I'm skeptical (as in have to see it to really accept it), I just don't see how a program could reliably parse the message sections and put them in order like that. That doesn't mean it can't be done, of course, but I'm still skeptical.
