Thanks for your response. Perhaps I should have put a little more thought before asking. What I meant to ask was "Can Hello XX be done away in replies to friends?" Sometimes the conversation just moves faster when you do without it. Of course in formal emails, it's a requirement.

Hehe, I goofed on the 'Yours truly' :) In replies if it is the first reply I usually include it, if it is the second or later reply in a series of emails usually it gets omitted unless I don't know the person very well. For instance, even though I've been working with my bookkeeper/tax advisor for 15 years I still will be very formal in almost all of my emails with him. But with my brother it can be 'hey how is it going?' on the first email I send to him in a week. It all depends on circumstances and what you feel comfortable with.
