It might be nice for the software to, by default, refuse to post any message
that's more than 75% quoted material...

Yes.

As a matter fact, I remember a couple of newsservers I frequently used a
couple of years ago that actually did that. Annoying for the first couple of
postings, enlightenig for the rest of my usenet experience.

I wish professional use of e-Mail communication would adhere to that basic
rule. It would make life easier and less painful to read some people's
e-Mail. Malformed, malquoted, blinking tags and all that with virtually no
reference to original mail.
