I'm really rather annoyed by the modern trend towards hiding previously seen text. It makes it hard to determine what exactly is being replied to unless you unhide it, and if you have to unhide it to make sense of it, then why is it hidden in the first place? The assumption that text will be hidden also gives rise to people not bothering to trim their responses, so when you do have to unhide text you end up with a giant mess to read through. -- Maria Blackmore Professional Network Fairy
