Too just add a little bit to this. One of the downsides of using the forum
feature is that the message that is being replied to isn't automatically
appended to the outgoing message. Therefore, often when we receive a post
here on the List there's a message, but it often makes no sense because we
can't tell what is being replied to. The subject line gives a clue, but
often that is many posts old. I'll pass this on to Matt.

Deke and Kitfox Listers,
I admit that it isn't exactly intuitive, but on the Forum site to quote a message, you click on the button that says "quote" in the upper right hand corner of each message; this will quote a copy of the message in your reply. If you just click on the button at the very bottom of a thread that says "Reply", it doesn't quote any of the message. This is because you probably don't really want to quote the entire thread in your message. Maybe, but I'm gonna say you don't. 
Here is a sample screen from the Forum. Note the "quote" button by each message, and the "Reply" button at the bottom.
Best regards,
Matt Dralle
