Sometimes I think it would be hard for readers to know what I'm responding to if I didn't include at least part of the origional message, so I copy the message, then delete some of it (see above) and put in dashes to indicate that I've deleted a part of it. The reason for the 'snip'ing, is because some people are on Pocket Mail, and can't receive long messages.
