On every message showed on lore.kernel.org/git, there is reply instructions at the bottom of the message's page. Follow it closely. If you insisted on either using git-send-email(1) or mailto: link to reply, you need to manually quote any portion of original message you wish to give the context. Make sure every line of quoted text starts with `> `. Better yet, reply using "reply-all" button or key in your mail client. However, make sure your email is text/plain (not HTML) and your mail client doesn't mess up with whitespaces (convert tabs to spaces, word wrapping). Thanks. -- An old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara
