I would suggest that you leave the date and hour, also, please. If I want to
find the original email which might have more context, that is very helpful.
Aside: You (Cmdte Alpha Tigre Z) obviously know how (in the gmail browser
client) to display the previous text which will be quoted, but for people that
may not know:
When you click reply in that gmail browser client, you don't see the previous
text, but, near the bottom of the textbox (on the right side), there are three
dots (bigger than a period) in an ellipse. If you click on those, the
previous text is displayed, and you can delete text or intermix your comments
as desired.
