Yes, but delete all the junk such as extraneous headers/footers as
I did above. It does actually make the conversation much easier to 
follow than top posting.

I appreciate many modern mail tools do top posting as default
(thanks Microsoft! :-(  ) but for conversations its much easier
to use inline comments.

For a good, fairly short, balanced, explanation of how it helps,
see this:

It helps if you have quoting turned on in your mail tool too - yours 
doesn't seem to be using quotes at present (Quoting means the >>>
bits in the message above - the number of > characters tells you how far 
back in the conversation it was)
