Another possible point (hopefully I'm not being too fascistic here :-) is:

In general, you should use the rule `by _default_ material from previous
mails should not be quoted; only quote things that are _definitely_ needed
to understand your comments'. For example, it there are two sentences
which you are referring to in a four paragraph e-mail, quote only those
two sentences in your reply. This is because people who receive the digest
version of the list can find it very difficult to distinguish the thirty
lines of new content scattered amongst five screenfull's of quoted
material (that's mostly not needed).
