The second one which shows me what Sara is referring to.
Imagine it just said "I don't know what Mel is talking about" without =
you seeing what Mel said right away.

I disagree.
What some people call inter-posting as way more convenient because it =
has the context of what you are referring to right next to your answer.

And yes: People *should* trim down the context. It also forces you to go =
through the email and remove what is irrelevant. Every second you spend =
making your message clearer and quicker to digest will save many seconds =
on the reading end.
