The only guideline I know of is that top-posts are to be avoided. You could use local tools to handle this situation. I use t-prot with mutt for example. It automatically shrinks the quote block, e.g.: [---=| Quote block shrunk by t-prot: 114 lines snipped |=---] ... last few lines of message ... -- Markus
