Hmm.  I would say that if you're not doing a point-by-point commentary on
the original message (as I'm doing here), you shouldn't include the original
at all unless your own message would be otherwise inexplicable.

Man, I hate it when I get messages with 5 or 6 levels of quoted text,
all basically uneditted and long-irrelevant to the current new content.
Unfortunately, the worst offenders are work-related (ie *NOT PICLIST*,
in my case.) :-(  It's especially annoying when the initial message is
20k+ of customer error log or code to be reviewed.
