Hoi, The easiest way to deal with such issues is use a decent mail client. I use Gmail and it ensures that all the threads are together and in order. It hides all the copies of old replies and given the copious amount of storage it is no problem that all the crap is still there.
When you argue that this is not best practice, my question to you is, when has your best practice been re-evaluated for the last time.. Does it consider the improved functionality that is there for you to have ?
I am often in "outback" Australia, with only dialup or very slow mobile broadband available. It is very annoying to need to download many copies of the same "crap" because people top post.
Of course I can read my email via gmail.com, which hides the "crap", however that is not ideal when I want to read my email and compose responses while I am offline.
The best practise is to not assume that everyone has unlimited broadband and access to these adv. web 2.0 gadgets - there are a lot of pockets in the world which are not so fortunate.
