As said by the RFC 1855:

"If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize 
the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the 
original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they 
start to read your response."

Certain context? I can't see where ;) However, that's not the "right" way to 
reply in mailing lists.
