Good "Listiquette" is virtually the same as Good Netiquette:

	Quote the barest minimum needed to keep in context;
	we've already seen the other message.

	Never ever quote others' .sig's, including the listserver's.

	Seven bit ASCII, no HTML, no binary, 75 characters/line
	maximum. 

	"MeeToo's" are usually best not sent. [On a list such as
	this, if they are serving as a headcount on a bug, that is a
	valid exception...]
