T-prot has shrunk the fullquote by 27 lines, making a good¹ attempt to do
what the poster could have done. If there were any reason to refer back
to the full quoted text, Esc-0 expands it in the display.

Is the forum a GUI view of the mailing list then? If so, can it really
automatically edit out excessive quoted text? Sounds equally useful.

¹ User tunable too.
