In business you quite often want all previous text left intact (no
trimming). I get a lot of emails that have gone from one person to
another before they get to me, and I want to see why someone said
something, based on the email he got, and why that email said what it
said, etc.
Many times all I need is the part addressed to me (the top part). If
I need more I can scroll down, if I don't I don't have to scroll.
Totally different than Usenet posts where, if it's done properly, the
entire text in a single post is relevant.
