Emphatically +1 to both trimming and adding blank lines. It would  
save a lot of time reading mail.

For people using Apple's Mail, if you see quoted text with a solid  
vertical line (or two or three etc) to the left of it, that's the  
same as using ">" to indent what you are replying to (as is the case  
with this message for me.)
