-- Contextual quoting is preferred, i.e.

                 Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.com>):
                 > Some limited text that will give context.
                 >

                 Your reply.

     versus

                 Your reply, lazily put at the top.

                 Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.com>):

         Many of the list readers stop following a thread the moment
         this lazy quoting method is used.  They figure that if you
         can't take half a minute of your time to save multiple
         minutes of the readers' time, you don't deserve replies.

The workaround I chose there was to wrap the operation in a catalog-level 
usertag.  Another workaround is to use calc instead:

[calc]
         return q{[get-url http://www.virgilio.it]};
[/calc]
