How many mail clients does it work on? And do people even use
mailto: links? It would roughly double the the size of HTML
responses for /$INBOX/$MSGID/ endpoints and probably increase
browser memory use a similar amount.
Fwiw, I'm not a fan of quoting publicly-archived mail;
especially with our "archives first" philosophy.
Quotes makes messages significantly bigger than they need to be;
thus more expensive to mirror when the replied message is
readily accessible in public archives. I end up skipping over
quotes 99% of the time.
