... [nice explanation] Let me add the third category: Business communications. Because that is where to posting above a fully quoted backlog of mails comes from. And that's where this type of writing really makes sense. If one has to deal with a lot of issues around his business he will not like looking up e.g. the last question of his communication partner or other information, because it costs additional time. If the whole tail of messages is available in one mail he's got anything needed at hand immediately. Very handy, very time saving.
