It all depends, and is rife with arguments. Look on line for 
"top-posting/bottom-posting" and "reply-list/reply-sender" and you'll find 
many, ahem, strident arguments for each way.

For most lists, I press the "reply-list" button, delete the extraneous text, 
and enter my response (as I've done here).

At the very least, remove duplicated list footers, since each message will 
get a new one.
