No, I won't, simply because you got your butt puckered about it.
Normally I simply follow the convention of the persons who posted
the message before me.

Hi,
I'm not seeing any issue with threading here; all of the subject lines
in Yashas emails are relevant to the topic in the body. Just for info I
use Thunderbird as well, but the sl-security version.
Regards to all,

It's just good practice to create a new email and not reply wiping the
information out, as it not all email clients work in the same manner.
Much like sending HTML messages to a listserv.

All,
Whilst nits are being picked out, will you please also desist from
"top posting". Trim the post to which you are replying and then
"bottom post".
Alan.
Under the conditions that "snipping" allows one to still get the full
context of an email history exchange -- often with information/comments
interspersed within the body of various preceding email posts -- then it is
justified. Otherwise, I find that I cannot reconstruct the detailed issues.
If there is no interspersed emails, then threading will (more or less) allow
your suggestion to work.
As for top or bottom posts, I and many others with whom I have discussed
this point over a number of years prefer top posting so that one can
immediately get to the new information, rather than going to the bottom of a
perhaps otherwise unintelligible set of exchanges. The issue is akin to that
of reverse or forward chronology in a Curriculum Vitae.
