Soft Works (12021-08-10): > I meant the e-mail body of the previous conversation.
Well, it is my mail, I put what I want in it, and you do what you want with yours. But ask yourself: which one do you find easier to read: one where you have to scroll half a dozen pages of old mail just to get to the new bits, or one where you have enough quoted context to remember what the discussion is about but not too much? For me, the answer is the second, and since I prefer this for myself I have toe courtesy to do the same for the mails I send, even if it takes a few more keystrokes. A lot of people do not bother, and even many more people bother even less and top-post. Compare with a hand-written letter: you would never copy all the missive you are replying to, you would just quote a little bit to give context, “regarding you calling on me tomorrow”… The full context is always available in mail archives, of course, nobody can prevent that, especially if you have full archives of your own somewhere.
