Please don't. Bottom-posting is just as bad as top-posting (maybe even
worse). If you don't know how to quote, just don't include the original
message at all and make sure that your MUA includes an In-Reply-To:
header line. Please be aware that without the quoted text you may need
to establish the context of your reply.

If you include quotes, remove everything that is not relevant to your
reply--especially signatures. Then write your individual replies just
below the relevant section you're refering to. Long quoted sections
should be shortened (without loosing meaning). For an example of
quoting you might want to look at the section "Proper Quoting Example"
at http://email.about.com/cs/netiquettetips/qt/et090402.htm
