A method and apparatus for detecting quoted text within a document, such as an email message or email thread, is described. A text comparison is performed to identify a block of quoted text within the document. The boundaries of the block of quoted text are identified by performing a character-by-character analysis on text surrounding the identified block of quoted text. The block of quoted text is elided so that an individual can easily identify the block of quoted text as having previously been viewed.
