I agree, also helpful when replying to include the
original message and the solution.

Hi! 
(Late as usual, I know :-> I was away from my keyboard for a
 while)

Trying to kill the keyboard, cruel(a)rocketmail.com produced:
[Thank-You messages clog up the list -- no they don't]

It would also be helpful if all the not _absolutely_ relevant
stuff was *not* quoted: See above how I digested ~65 lines into
one. Signatures and so on need not to be quoted. 

It does seem to help the flow of reading when you have quoted
parts followed by the answer you write (see this post) and not
first the answer and right at the bottom of it the question ...
