I realize that others prefer it differently, but typically I read the first email in a thread and then I know the context of all the following emails in that thread. This is greatly helped by a complete and concise subject line. If you are responding to a specific portion of an email, then it makes for sense to extract that portion and include it above your response. I really don't mind seeing extracts followed by answers, but what is annoying is having to scroll through an entire email that I read only seconds earlier just to get to an answer. We may get more meaningful help if people do not have to worry about the exact format of their replies. Sometimes a quick response doesn't justify trimming and extracting and the previous email could be included at the bottom for reference in case it is needed. Not trying to be a pest, I simply want to get the most out of this group as possible. David
