If one wants to forward one of those tedious "forward this to all your
friends" call-to-action or "isn't this kitten cute" emails, then stripping
out massively-nested ">>" quotes before sending is only polite. But when
replying to the reply of a replied-to message, quoting is a Good Thing so
we know who said what.
AOL users often need assistance when it comes to quoting. I don't think it
defaults to quoting. As I understand it, if they first highlight the text
they want to quote before clicking on "reply," the text gets pasted into
the reply with the quote marks.
