No, taking the time to edit one's response is courteous. Not doing so is discourteous. Why? Because if helps others quickly find the relevant information, as opposed to just flinging everything for everyone else to sort out on their own.

Generally, e-mails I recieve that are overquoted, and that require more than a quick glance to find the relevant info are deleted. I probably miss some good information that way, but it is my preference to sorting through quotes of quotes of quotes. If we all did this, those who are discourteous would begin finding no responses to their posts, and would, hopefully, begin to change.
