Over-quoting includes nesting of previous replies identified by '>':
For example:
http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2005-October/021290.html
The following is an example of a reply to a digest where the user has
top-posted, and forgotten to remove the irrelevant text:
http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2005-October/021243.html
So, one hopes to see some text at the bottom, and scrolls all the way
down to the end of the message only to realize that the user has
top-posted.
The following is an example of a reply to a digest where the user has
bottom-posted, and forgotten to keep only the relevant text:
http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2005-November/022002.html
In both cases, the subject lines haven't been changed, and there is a
trail of messages that are irrelevant.
