Maybe, but NOT on mailing lists!!
If you want help, conform, otherwise no conform no help.

Umm, no.
(1) New message - usual story
(2) reply to a message.
Use list reply (or adjust headers to suit)
THEN move cursor around message, replying to the parts you want to
reply to, deleting parts which make no sense to this particular
post.
(3) In other words, "craft" the message!!!!
Persistent non-trimming top posters get DELETED!!! (and possibly abused)
but not helped!! This makes their lazyness a waste of time to
themselves, it also fills the Internet (archives etc. ...) with loads of
stuff which is HARD to read and actually a right royal PITA when trying
to search for a solution to a "supposedly" simple problem in a hurry.
