That's not the main problem. The main problem is that you started a new
thread by replying to an old thread. Even if you had removed the
existing text, your email would still contain headers which mark it as
belonging to an old thread. On modern email clients that show a threaded
view of discussions, your message appeared way down in a discussion of
VMWare. If someone had marked that thread as uninteresting then they
wouldn't have seen your message at all.

It's always a good idea to start a new thread with a brand new email.
