Gmail's handling of quoting is dumb. It doesn't respect inline quoting
and encourages unnecessary quoting. It tries to solve a problem already
solved by much smarter MUAs, pretending as if only slightly dumber MUAs
already exist.
I use Mutt and can toggle hiding of quoted text using toggle-quoted
(defaults to 'T' key). Even better is using skip-quoted (defaults to
'S' key) to jump to the next block of unquoted text.
