I prefer always to include at least a snippet of the message I am answeri=ng
to because otherwise my answer becomes unrelated and difficult to=
understand.

Personally I  prefer to start from the incoming message, edit out what I =do
not need and put in my answers on appropriate places. I find that easier =but
it is a matter of taste.

I am glad that personal info IS included because it sometimes happens tha=t I
want to contact a list member off list. I have never had any unwanted
message that could be traced back to any list member.

I agree and I have to apologize for forgetting it very often. It kind of
sits separate from the interesting matter which is the ingoing message
