As you can see my personal preference is to reply first then quote the relevant part of the original message. (I prefer this, as posts in this format enable me to see if the answer has enough info to care about the question, in most cases I'm aware of the question anyway as I follow the list regularly)
As long as the quote is stripped down to the relevant part, I can live with both options. (In fact I use your approach, if there are several remarks or questions I want to comment on) What causes most pain to me is something like quote whole thread with intermixed answers or answers below. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jens Skripczynski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 1:18 PM > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [OT] How to quote ? ! > > I'm used to a different kind of quoting than i see here quiet often. > > If i answer an email i do quote the whole original message with '> ', > delete unrelevant parts, and write my answer _under_ the > relevant parts, i want to put an answer to. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
