Perhaps you've not bothered to read:

Proper quoting

Proper quoting is very important on mailing lists, to ensure that it is
easy to follow the conversation. There are four fundamental rules:

   1. When replying to an email, ensure that the email which you are
replying to is indented with a symbol such as > or | (this is usually
done from the preferences of your email client - most should do this by
default).
   2. When quoting, attribute the quoted text to the person who wrote it
(again, most email clients will do this by default). Be careful to
attribute the correct text to the correct person.
   3. Write your email underneath the email which you are replying to.
   4. Tailor your reply to fit the text which you are replying to. Do
not quote the whole of the previous email - remove any unnecessary text.
To avoid confusion, it's often a good idea to replace removed text with
a brief indication that something has been removed, like [snip].

Read #3. There. You've been "instructed otherwise".
