Yes please, the list does not have a specific requirement but
personally I find it much better as one does not have to search down
looking for what is being replied to. For someone asking a question
it is not so much of an issue as they know what they asked but for
those asking who maybe have a dozen questions on the go in a number of
mailing lists then the context of each question is not necessarily
immediately remembered.
