I generally reply as I think is most efficient. If the original email is short, and my reply is long, then I will bottom post so that the context is kept. If original is long, or the Subjet line "says it all", then I tend to top post (as in this case) and may even remove the original message (again, as in this case). If the original asks multiple questions, then I tend use to in-line reply, so that each answer is under the associated question. And I usually will trim out any excess which I consider to be irrelevent. Perhaps with an <elided/> or <snipped/> type pseudo-XML tag.
