On phpBB bulletin boards, the usual custom seems to be to quote the person you're replying to, and maybe the person they quoted, if absolutely necessary. The reply depth should never go high enough to cause problems. This works well.
- quanticle 16y agoThat's fine for bulletin boards, where all you have to do is scroll up to read the rest of the history. However, until very recently (i.e. GMail) viewing the history behind a particular e-mail message required you to go back through all your e-mail and find the previous messages in the thread. On a busy list, this could be quite a bit of trouble. Hence, having the entire history in the message itself could be quite useful.
