I (and presumably you!) can just read the previous mail (again) if I/you
feel like it. If you have a proper work flow with threaded view, that's
just as little effort as having the whole content repeated. In fact it
is _less_ effort.
The main point is, though, that on such a high traffic/many readers
mailing list like debian-user, it is _not_
practical/convenient/efficient/etc. if everyone behaves as she/he
prefers for her/himself. Just as in other walks of live it greatly
helps, if all involved adhere to some common standard just to make live
easier for everyone.
The standard and proper way on Debian mailing lists is to bottom post
and trim.
Cheers,
Johannes
