    Some mail clients support a digest mode which lets you follow up to
    individual messages in-thread (at least gnus does). If your mail
    client does not support that, it probably makes the most sense to
    followup with a reasonable subject (perhaps even one cut'n'pasted from
    the bit you are interested in), stripping off the parts not relevant
    to your message.
