Answer: when the quote is part of a series of e-mails written by more than one person.
Explanation: quoting selected parts of prior messages provides context and clarifies who said what in multi‑participant threads. Avoid quoting confidential/embarrassing content, avoid quoting everything if it makes the reply too long, and you don’t need to quote just to send a simple reply to the sender.
