That's a fairly bad idea, actually.  Aside from it being a distracting
nuisance most of the time, people who include the entire body of a
message in their replies (which sadly is way too many people) would
be exposing the info needed to unsubscribe them.  Also, we can't
modify the bodies of messages as they pass through the list server
without breaking various anti-spam protocols.
