While I've never had anyone complain, I have had people simply not see what I 
had replied to them because my reply was either interspersed with their 
message or was at the bottom of their message. Unfortunately, I have had this 
problem not only with people who don't know any better, but also with other 
technical people.

I've found it's easier to find out what mail client they're using and adjust 
things accordingly.
