I disagree. 

E.g. there is no reason to keep a footer inside quoted mail as this is
also not solved by a folding mail client.

Also folding of messages is introducing a lot of complexity into mail
client on the one hand as well as having a look onto stile of quoted
text -- there is a lot of quoted text on one level which makes the
folding feature nearly useless in many cases. 

For me its just a matter of good behavior just to quote things you are
really relaying on. For the rest there is a thread, mailing list
archive or whatever. 

Cheers, Frank
