If he saved the previous messages. And even if he saved them, he may 
display only the unread messages (as I do). Yes, he can probably go back 
and find what was replied to even if he doesn't display the already-read 
messages, but to me that's almost always a nuisance and I rarely do it. 
In my opinion, a reply should not make anyone do that if you want 
everyone to understand what you're saying.

I agree. But I disagree  that that means it's OK not to quote enough to 
make your reply understood.
