I prefer the quote-as-you-go method. It usually makes what you are referring
to much clearer. And as incoherent as all of us usually are, every little
bit helps.

ELM just throws the whole message into the editor and lets the user sort
the mess out. I almost never quote an entire message, either. I only quote
the relevant parts.
