However! I found a useful plugin for Thunderbird (which I see you don't use, but still). It's called Quote Collapse and basically it does what you might imagine, the indented bits of messages get collapsed to just their first line (for context) and you get a ± button to expand if you need to read the rest of the context. Personally for me this makes bottom posting readable in general and top posting is fine, and my preference then becomes "interleaved" because it looks quite pretty with the collapsed quoting...
Been using it since forever, and I agree, it is quite useful, although only for plain text messages that use proper quote characters...
Many MUAs such as "claws-mail" have that function build it. I use it extensively on some list. I still find it hard to believe that some moron will actually reply to a message with quadruple quotes or more and not have the common sense to edit them out. I basically drop anything over two levels when replying.
