Thunderbird puts colored bars to mark quotation levels. If someone
drops a single sentence in the middle of a pile-o-quotage, there is a
break in the bar. It's obvious.
Other mail readers colorize the quoted text instead, making the change
in quote level even more obvious.
With an add-on, Thunderbird will do that as well:
