This is already advised in the FAQ, but it's
so frequently ignored that I'll underscore
and extend the point.
"Edit mail so that readers see easily what the issue is
and what your contribution is. Please do not re-post the
whole of a very long message together with your one-sentence
tidbit. Please do not send a message by replying to, but not
editing out, someone else's message on a different topic.
Your mailer may have a facility to select a block of text
and then reply quoting only that text."
