When I reply to a message on a mailing list, what is the “right” way to do it? Should I be deleting previous thread text from my response? Should I be adding anything in? Is there some general ideas for the “right” way to reply to a message on a list?
It all depends, and is rife with arguments. Look on line for "top-posting/bottom-posting" and "reply-list/reply-sender" and you'll find many, ahem, strident arguments for each way.
For most lists, I press the "reply-list" button, delete the extraneous text, and enter my response (as I've done here).
At the very least, remove duplicated list footers, since each message will get a new one.
