Down-editing means including only the relevant parts of the incoming message to which you are responding. By inserting your responses to specific parts of the original message, you are efficiently conveying your message while avoiding redundant information. This helps the recipient to quickly understand your message without having to read through all the unnecessary information in the original message.
