Hello Patrick

See, my problem here was the following:
I was replying to de0edf8074f4462a507a12373beed7939f124985 camel redhat com, 
sent Tue, 21 Jan 2020 08:48:55 +0100

The message has two big paragraphs, 8 and 6 lines respectively (plus
three greeting ones), about conditions and actions respectively.
Quoting the full message seems too much.
Both paragraphs mention an UI for its part would be complex. My reply is
addressing that in general (i.e. I agree). There's nothing specific
about the UI in the paragraphs, it could be also a reply to the current
topic of the thread (i.e. we are talking about an UI for message
filters).
Thus I just trimmed everything.

Studying it, I can think using instead “Getting a good UI for the filter
messages window so it supports the advanced features we have been
mentionig can be hard, indeed.” may improve it, but little else.

What do other people here would consider as the best quote for this
case?


As a smaill sidenote, I would expect pretty much everyone following long
topics like this one to use threaded view when reading topics like this.
That could also be a biased opinion, so feel free to correct me.


Kind regards
