Other text should be removed, unless it provides useful context (would your message make sense if read by someone not familiar with the issue and without access to previous messages?). > BTW, a query about how the original message is quoted with '<'.

HTML messages may look completely different at the receiving side, which is why they should be avoided. One can use other characters for emphasis, like *bold*, /italics/, _underline_. > Is it necessary that each line s marked with '<'?

In my opinion the most important part is clearly distinguishing between quote and reply, as well as properly attributing quotes (who wrote what). Using '>' makes it easier for list recipients to read your message, e.g. my email client is configured to use different colours depending on the quote level.
