It looks like a bug in two ways:

1. Is it always possible to find the hidden text?  I can't see how to
show it in my non-JavaScript browser;

2. it looks like it fails more often for correctly-quoted
(interspersed) messages.

I suggest collapsing *each* quoted block after 4 lines.  I think this
should be fixed quite soon, as the Javascript-requirement is an
accessibility bug.

If you want to be really harsh, reject new messages with excessive
quoting, like NNTP servers used to do.

Hope that helps,
