Description
When I'm part of a long email thread there's a huge amount of junk that gets tacked on to the end of the email, the nested quoted replies take up a TON of space, and end up making the email start out zoomed out and super tiny. This is usually resolved with just a double-tap of the screen but it would be nice if there were a way to make it so that these replies are collapsed by default, and can be expanded with a tap, similar to how the official Gmail app handles this.
Is this possible? I'm using K9 because I don't use Gapps, so it'd be super nice if there were an option for this.
Thanks!

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Android email-rendering path and existing handling for nested quoted replies; done would mean long quoted threads are collapsed by default, can be expanded with a tap, and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
