You should watch other posts to the list; I explained this to another 
top-poster, only last week.

It would also be appreciated if you could adjust your mailer settings, 
to wrap text at around 70 characters maximum line length.

You should quote *relevant* sections of the original, and delete the 
irrelevant sections.  Then you insert your follow-up dialogue in its 
appropriate context, as you have done on this occasion.  Reproduced 
below, is the relevant section from my reply to that other top-poster 
from last week; you might like to read the article to which it refers:
