The automatic quoting that email applications perform gives me a headache. 90% of the emails I receive require no quote, yet contain like 20 levels of indented quotes from the chain of messages that add nothing but noise. Modern mail readers already chain the messages together, but are not perfect when it comes to filtering out the quotes.
In my opinion, people should be more involved with the quoting of the previous message. Perhaps the customer could highlight the part of the previous message they want and have that become the quote. Or maybe a button when we write an email that will pull in the messages we're responding to as a quote.

Highlight the part of the original message that you want to become the quote, and hit 'Reply'.
