That's easy to fix.  Just trim the message that you're replying to, to 
only include what you're replying to, sort of like what I did here. 

In any case, as long as the text is properly quoted, it's quite easy to 
skip to the new part of the message by scanning for the part that's not 
quoted by "> " at the beginning of the line. (That is unlike what your 
client seems to do to messages; are you using Outlook perhaps?  I've 
seen people who use Outlook and get reasonable quoting out of it, it's 
just a matter of configuring it properly)

I guess it's possible to be too lazy to trim the message, or have a 
client that doesn't easily allow you to do this, but those are both a 
personal choice.  In that case, I'm sorry to have made you need to skip 
over all 4 lines of quoted text, to see the "new content" of this 
message. :)
