It is not, so long as you first quote the relevant part you are replying to.
At some point you can also trim the tail as you see fit (I don't find it necessary because my mail client does a good enogh job at hiding that part unless I click on a "show wverything" button.

- kilburn 7y agoI stand corrected. Technically it appears that I'm advocating for a combination of inline and top posting. Quoting the relevant wikipedia part: > The interleaved reply style can also be combined with top-posting: selected points are quoted and replied to, as above, and then a full copy of the original message is appended.
