Please don't do this, it generates piles of junk in the archives, and is entirely unnecessary. I post this because I notice lots of other people making this elementary error. In a newsgroup, you really need very little context to establish what you are replying to, given that messages are all tracked, and indeed most people are using threaded readers of some kind. Just give a bare minimum of context so that people know what you are replying to. Some newsreaders actually prevent you from posting messages of this kind (e.g. allowing no more quote lines than message lines). That's a bit draconian, and any arbitrary rule can be annoying, but as a general principle that's an excellent limit to respect.
