You can easily accomplish this by quoting only the necessary text of the
parent post and commenting between the lines.

My Evolution preview window shows 38 lines of text. When _all_ of those
are quoted text, the person who sent that mail did something wrong. (I'm
not picking on you specifically, I think it's a general problem on this
list.)

Like has been pointed out before, Fedora does not force a reboot at all.
All it does is show an icon in the corner, telling me I need to log out
or I need to reboot. It could gain more options, like "need to restart
Firefox".
