In a real conversation, what one person says immediately follows after what the other person said, but in mail there is a time gap which can span several days, and during which one can get several hundred other messages. I, for one, get up to a thousand mails each day. I find it much more easy when a post has a line or three giving me the context before the new text starts.

Well, if people should stop doing that in mail conversations, they would be quite hard to get a grip on, even if one have been following the thread, as this example might prove.
