People tend to use examples that make their methods really shine. The example conversations in this post work out really well, but they're more like an IM conversation than most email treads I've had. Try a few examples where someone writes a couple of paragraphs and your bottom reply is below the fold. Most people will think you didn't reply, not that they have to scroll to find it.
This is less of a problem with email and more an issue with how email clients display threaded conversations. Does anyone that uses Gmail think this is a problem?

Then you're quoting incorrectly. (Notice how I quoted only a section of your original, in my reply here.) Proper correspondence includes trimming the quoted section. Not simply leaving the whole thing there.
