Caution: these instructions do not apply unless you're using a Windows
operating system.

Your email program may require different a procedure. For example, in
mine, I select the text I want to include in the reply, then issue the
appropriate "reply" command (there are several from which to choose: to
all, to sender, to conference, etc.). The result is a message with the
selected text displayed as at the top of this message.

To sum up, try to learn the best/easiest way to reply, quoting the
appropriate part of the original message, modifying the subject if
necessary, keeping your signature file (if you use one) at a reasonable
length, and choosing the audience you want to receive the message
carefully. If we all pay a little more attention to how we do what we do,
we'll all enjoy less clutter and clearer communication.
