Well, the way I see it, if you're quoting more than two lines at a

parent post is very easy, and if someone is reading the reply, it
is likely that he read the parent already anyway.

How is that N key implemented?

boldEach(find!"a.timestamp > b"(sort!"a.timestamp < b.timestamp")
   (messages));

or something like that.
