I beg to differ on opinions on e-mail quoting. I
really dislike having to
scroll past all of the stuff I have already read, or even scan through a
mix of old and new.
That's one of the reasons I like threaded message boards better then email
lists.
Sure, the information isn't "delivered to your door" but you can follow a
thread from A to B easily, ignore threads you don't care about completely
and figure out what the latest additions are very quickly.
Of course, there's the possibility of the same types of issues you see
here with excessive quoting and such, but it seems a lot less prevalent on
boards I frequent.

Ahhh, your MUA doesn't support a threaded view of messages and
functions
like "Set all messages of thread X to read and skip them."?
Time to get a better MUA. I sugest mutt (CLI) and / or sylpheed (X11).

Ohh, well. Some
webmail stuff. I wouldn't call that a MUA at all.
But this is a question of personal taste.

Can you recommend a MUA that will properly handle the sequences of replies?
By way of explaination. Assume all of the following occurs while you are not
connected....
In time order...
1) John sends Original Message
2) Steve Reply To #1 (Original)
3) John Reply to #2 {First Reply)
4) Mike Reply To #2
5) Steve Reply to #4
6) Steve Reply to #3 (With a reference to what he said in #5!)
7) John Reply to #4
Visually See This Arrangement....
John[1] --> Steve[2] -->John[3] --> Steve[6]
-->Mike[4] --> Steve[5]
--> John[7]

That is what sylpheed and every
other well writen MUA does. Have a look
