This is a very good point:  "remove everything of the previous email 
that isn't relevant to your response".   Avoiding top posting is good, 
but that's not all there is to it.  There are many here who quote 
seriously long emails, only to answer small parts of it somewhere in the 
middle.

Maybe we should a add a section about email etiquette to the 
Contributing page?

Cheers,
