Quoting (part of) the message you reply to, writing your reply before
the quoted text instead of after it.
Quoting selected parts of the message you reply to is good for two
reasons: It shows what exactly you're replying to, and it serves as a
reminder for me if it's been a while since I read the previous message.
But if the quote is at the end of your message I have to scroll down to
see it and then scroll back up to read your reply.
Because it breaks the logical order of conversation.
Why is top-posting bad?
