Well, it breaks up the continuity of the thought of an email. It also |
| 5 |
promotes one of two things, either removing the entirety of the previous |
| 6 |
email, or leaving a big honking mess at the bottom of the email, just |
| 7 |
like the one that you sent had. What is probably the most courteous |
| 8 |
method of quoting is to post your messages within what you are quoting, |
| 9 |
underneath the text you are referring to, and removing any texts that |
| 10 |
are not relevant to your response. This email is a good example. |
