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: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/quote-colors/
