I wouldn't mind, so much, if only it was used sensibly. But it rarely is. You don't have just <p>what the person said</p>, but masses of divs, brs, pseudo-MS-centric-CSS gumph, etc. And it gets even worse when you quote back.
It's no-wonder MS favours the reply above and quote below technique, it saves them the headache of rewriting the HTML.
