because i try and hide it .. and apparently do a good job of it ;-)

if the reply doesn't have much unique content i just summarize it (w/credit to 
the author) w/out actually quoting it. if there is something unique, i'll 
often quote just the original parts saying something like "in response to 
<whatever it was in specific> so-and-so said" ... with a bit of creative 
piecing-together / summarization you can usually make it work...

i do agree that those emails are the most annoying though =)
