Bug Description
It seems that some bug comments cause Launchpad to decide to replace almost the whole thing with just "[...]", for example comment #2 on <https:/
Is this to do with the mail starting with some quoted text? Hiding that would be reasonable, but here Launchpad is also hiding new original text added in that comment.
The result is quite misleading: it looks like Jelmer said nothing new when in fact he said something important.

I think this is because the threshold for “truncate and show _Read more…_” is not taking into account lines hidden by quoting. This might be intentional because quoted text is still part of the page, so without including it in the truncation a single large comment could greatly increase the size of the page. Even if it is intentional, the effect in this case is very unfortunate.
