Or, again from RFC1855:

  - If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you
    summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just
    enough text of the original to give a context.  This will make
    sure readers understand when they start to read your response.
    Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the
    postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a
    response to a message before seeing the original.  Giving context
    helps everyone.  But do not include the entire original!

Dave.
