One of the reasons is people don't bother to scroll down to see what's below.  Out of sight, out of mind.

On the other hand, even people with regular, PC-based email still do it.

I've tried to convince my friends to delete excess quotes for years.   They won't and as a result mailing lists -- especially digests -- become unreadable.  I have unsubbed from several lists in the past couple of years .  It's just not worth the time trying to decipher all the goggledegook.

That would help, but perhaps only modestly.  Our digests are pretty short lately, but that's probably because few want to read the list anymore because 
the conversations can no longer be followed.
