I think it's best to just quote those parts that you are responding
to--the archive is publicly available, so anyone who wants to read
backwards through the thread can do so on the web.

Sometimes when I'm lazy and/or rushed, I'll just "top post"--put my
comments at the top and quote the entire message chain below, but I
think that's generally disfavored.

I don't know if anyone else has other preferences, though.
