This is good advice in this specific instance, but I would not consider
it an excuse for myself not to properly trim the replies I make, on the
principle that I should not demand many people to change their habits
just to accommodate mine.

A little effort by one person is better than a tiny effort by many.

Mutt also has a short-cut (S by default) to skip until the first line of
non-quoted text. It is a life-saver when you all do not trim your mails.
