Are you aware of any email software that can be configured to easily deal with bottom posting (ie, when you hit reply, it places the cursor at the bottom of the message rather than the top, and, while reading the email, it skips the repeated top content and places the view screen beginning at the first new content)? I always figured that I should top AND bottom post. You decide if that is so that everyone will be happy, or no one will be happy :-)Thunderbird will start your reply at the bottom. And I've seen others with this option also. But I've never seen any email program that will go simply to the new content. I'm not sure it would even be possible, as a lot of where the new content in would depend on what the writer/poster did.I guess some programs will have an option to "collapse" quoted text. I suggest searching in addons.mozilla.org for a thunderbird extension that does that (I thought QuoteColors did it, but apparently it doesn't).
Quote colors would really be nice, but it's incompatible with this version of TB at the moment. I hope the author updates it.
I did find Quote Highlight and QuoteCollapse, and I suspect the second one does what you are requesting. I can take a screenshot of what it does and email it if you would like to see the results.
Other clients will do a pretty good job, like Claws-Mail, but I don't know about collapsing quoted text. As for Gnus, either it does have some way to collapse quoted text or you hack it so that it does.
