Well, in theory you do what you'd do with any reply and only quote the 
part you were responding to.

Paul asked Elanor not to reply because it breaks threading, which would 
seem to suggest that there's no way for a non-subscriber to participate 
either.  I'm sure that's not what he meant but as he declined to answer 
I suppose we'll simply be left to guess.
