Email is clearer when it emulates a conversation. A helpful article:
http://email.about.com/cs/netiquettetips/qt/et090402.htm
How Much to Quote and Where to Reply
"When you reply to an email message, you should include that message, but only
as much
as is necessary to establish the context. Your reply should be below the quoted
text,
not above it. If there is more than one point you reply to, your repartees
should follow
the original text you refer to directly. Don't be shy to cut and reformat the
quoted
text (except where the original formatting is essential, of course)."

Behind all these manifestations is the one radiance, which shines through all
things.
The function of art is to reveal this radiance through the created object.
