        There's nothing wrong with quoting, especially with longer messages
that might have several subjects.  You'll frequently see a larger message
broken down with several quotes inside it.  On the other hand, if you reduce
the quotes to the essentials needed to allow the person you are talking with
to remember the topic, you usually can't go wrong.  Check your off-line mail
reader to see if it has a "quote-meter" function.  Such mail readers check
to make sure the message doesn't exceed a pre-configured "Quoted Text 
percentage
and warns you before you save it if the quoting might be excessive.  
enerally
a figure between 70% and 80% works well.
        I'm glad you liked the material on the Tigercat, and if you need
anything else don't be afraid to ask.
                Christopher
