Just this: if you are replying to something someone said, place your reply
after the text you quote. It makes the conversation easier to read.

And, occasionally, if the messages are getting ridiculously long with
quoted text that's no longer relevant, delete some of that irrelevant
quoted text.

There are a few situatons where this is difficult to do, but they do
arise. When it is difficult, don't sweat it.
