Yes, it appears Google's default setting is to leave out quoted text. This
is no doubt due to the fact that it is Google itself that is archiving
newsgroups so they are going to do whatever they can to decrease the load.
IOW, they are trying to change how usenet works to benefit themselves. It
appears a user of their usenet service can add the quoted text, but most
noobs have no clue about netiquette.
