As others have said, your replies should go BELOW the text you're
responding to. Clock the grey 3 dots below the text in the email
you're answering (or press Ctrl+A) to expand the quoted text, and
reply underneath.

If you don't hibernate and don't need swap, sure, remove it and use
GParted from a live CD or live USB stick to resize your partition and
reclaim the space.

If you only very occasionally need swap space, use the ``swapspace''
script to enable an on-demand swap file.  Google for details. This is
how Mac OS X works.
