For sure, and only what's necessary for your reply to make sense all by
itself.

I wouldn't do that, as a first choice.  Sure, if you have a mail client
that's a bastard to selectively quote, or won't let you edit the reply,
it will probably be preferable than posting a large message with a tiny
response.

But, generally speaking, make your reply understandable as a stand-
alone message.

The other option when quoting is technically hard to do, is to
paraphrase the questions you're responding to in your reply.  As you
would have done in traditional mail.
