Well George is running the mailing list, so it would make sense that
he'd know sed. That said, I'd be more inclined to use 's/^> >.*$//' than
the command that Stephen provided, since one level of quoted text seems
rather important to keep. This email is making use of a second level by
reference, so there's an argument for keeping 2, but I don't think it's
a terribly strong one (after all I could cut and paste Stephen's command
before the sed-based listmonster eats it, if I knew that were going to
happen). Of course, I still believe in bottom-posting, so...

tl;dr quite a few.

Cheers,
Kris
