There isn't a way to do that of which I am aware, though I have encountered
a gateway system at a university which bounces back to the Errors=
address anything with excessive quoting.  Unfortunately, these days
that's just about everything.
 
You can try to educate your subscribers, and maybe it will take for a
little while, but they will soon be back to quoting all of each message,
complete with enormous sig., every time they hit their handy "reply"
buttons.
 
Hmm, an "operator's license" required before "reply " can be used? ;-)
