Why is recognizing quoted text important? In terms of email threading, that is determined entirely by mail headers set when someone presses “reply” on a specific post, or replies to an email (same thing, that email represents one post, replying to the email is mechanically the same as replying to the post).

Can you provide some specific examples?
