I guess I didn't follow your advice ;)

Anyway, I got curious - why do you request that? Common wisdom (or
netiquette, or whatever you want to call it) dictates that a person
replying cuts down the quoted message to the bare minimum needed to
understand the context of the reply (just like I did in this message).
If someone really needs to see the entire original message - it is there,
arrived to you previously and now can be found again in the mailing list
archive - and doesn't need to be repeated in its entirety in each reply...

Also, consider what such a request would do in long threads, where you
have replies to replies to replies...
