Please don't ever append a mail you are referring to at the bottom when
in a mailing list.  Quote only the relevant parts of the mail (using a
citation mark like I do here) and reply to each point immediately
below.  Never cite anything that you are not referring to.

In this case, you appended a whole daily or weekly digest without any
reason.  As a rule, you should _never_, whether you are quoting or not,
reply to a digest since a mail reader, when replying, puts referral
marks in the headers that other mail readers use for organizing
discussion threads.  When you reply to a digest, those headers become
useless.

Anyway, your reply, containing a whole daily digest, will be a part of
the next daily digest.  Can you imagine what happens if such a
digest-quote occurs daily or more often?
