Most screenreaders are able to jump to the next paragraph with a short-cut. If one doesn't want to read a cited pparagraph, he can simply move to the next uncited part. > Are there screen readers that are intelligent enough to identify > quoted text and skip it automatically (or allow the user to skip it)? For Win**ws users e.g. there are Jaws-Scripts for the mail program 'The Bat", which lets the Screenreader read cited Text with a different voice than the default one. Jumping to the next not-cited paragraph is also possible. IMHO, using a screenreader is not an excuse for top-posting. > For comparison, gmail can do that (although the header of the > replied-to message is not hidden by default) Gnus (which I'm using myself) also can do that.
