That's such a strange thing.

Are those the same people who
- embed textual information within pictures
- send information as Word attachment instead of a simple
  text message within the mail
- and finally refuse to use email, claiming this is system is
  dead by now
  ... while they feel most comfortable with twitter and whatsapp
  messages, using plain text only

since they never learned, how proper threading and quoting could have
worked?

Schönen Gruß
