By all  means, use your judgment as to what is relevant from foregoing 
message(s)!  However, recently there's been a spate of entire digests 
being included by mistake.  I'm just suggesting to edit each message 
before sending!   I typically cull for relevance, change the Subject: 
line if necessary (as someone has already institutionalized in the 
digest header), strike excess header material and sigs and such, and 
sometimes *add* helpful tags like the above clarification of nested 
quotes.  I aim for clarity;  there's one of me writing and 
who-knows-how-many people reading it.  If I spend an extra two minutes 
so 200 people don't have to, that's 398 person-minutes saved.
