If they don't require a lot of context, why include an entire 
message to set the context? Wouldn't be nothing but a 
bandwidth-hog. A summary of the central thought of the message 
between [] (or just a quote of the central thought, if the 
original poster was so kind to include it somewhere in his 
text) would suffice, in such cases. 

Cheers,
