ISTR there was something, not in the Emacs context, alas, and before
the First Internet Supernova (aka roughly Y2K, when Google had the
choice to either go bust or go evil).
I guess it won't work, since proper "bottom posting" is a bit more
than just putting the whole kaboodle above and your two lines below.
It takes some involvement on the responder's side to pick and choose
the parts of the message she's addressing in the response.
Perhaps, with a large language model...
More seriously: those are simply different cultures. I strongly doubt
you can bridge that with "just" a technical device (although it may
help sometimes).
Cheers
