As already mentioned, you would do well to trim all the material except
what you are replying to.
On my email program, you highlight the relevant part, and THEN hit
reply. That way only the highlighted part is carried over to the reply.
Some settings don't include the original reply, you are just replying on
a blank sheet, and can copy and paste from the original. You would have
already selected that in "Options", no doubt, whether the reply is
blank, or contains original post, or highlighted part of original post.
Two things, though. Remember to trim off the rest of the digest, as
people get frustrated if they receive post after post containing the
whole of the previous digest. Some people are paying extra for their
downloads.
And also very important - remember to change the Subject Line to reflect
what you are writing about, and change it as the conversation moves on.
If your subject line only says Digest No 12345 some people won't click
on to see what it is, and might miss exactly what they need. If it says
something like "Generator - Silver Rods (was Silver coins)" they know
better which posts to click on first.
Welcome to the list.

Subject: CS>Fw: How do I post a message?
Hi. I receive the digest. Please explain how I should reply to a post on it
so my reply is with the message I am replying to.
Thanks,
Laurie
