Sometimes I copy and paste the text into a text editor, use the search and replace function to search for > and replace it with nothing, and then paste back in to the reply. Takes a bit of time, but it works.
Is there a way to delete those annoying arrows down the left side of some e-mails?
There used to be a stand-alone spell checker called Spell Tools that also had several other tricks up its sleeves, including removal of those "carrots". Also, a clipboard extender called CopyPaste which did that as well. This was back in the days before OSX. I know the latter was updated, but don't know if it retains that function.
The answer is "no". It's due to retarded people who don't know how to forward emails properly.
No. The ">" character has nothing to do with the mental agility of the sender. It is a standard character in plain text email to denote the generation of copied messages. Each ">" denotes one generation per line.
If you don't like them, then there are workarounds to avoid the ">" characters.

How do you avoid them when sending a message forward?

You can ignore my post (#6) if you like, but CopyPaste will do what you want:
Text Tools
Remove all eMail Quotes - removes all levels of the quoting that are found in some eMail messages.
Add One eMail Quote Level - wraps not quoted lines to no more than 60 characters, and preceeds them with the ">" quote, or adds another level of quote to a message.
Word Wrapping and Indentation - wraps lines to no more than 60 characters, and preceeds them with five spaces.
Clean and Unwrap Text - removes all HTML tags, interpretes HTML special characters, removes double spaces, unwraps lines exept for lists, and interpretes indentation and blank lines as new paragraphs.
Remove Styles - removes the style information, like bold, italic, as well as other character formatting from text.
Lowercase - will lower case all the selected text.
Uppercase - will UPPER CASE ALL THE SELECTED TEXT.
Capitalize Words - will "Capitalize All Words In A Selected Sentence".

I say to you, Non, Sequitur.

Very punny, Housely, but I "don't follow" your logic.

Copy & Paste.
Copy & Paste.
But many people appear not to possess the mental agility required for such a complex maneuver.
If that spam is important enough to forward to your entire address book, then you can take the time to format it properly before you hit "send".
