Refer to My Reply within Your Email

[Brahman]

Dear Teachers,

I require your advice in regard to a reply to an email: someone has written to me a long email, asking me a number of questions, and making a few observations. I am now responding to all of them.

(1) Instead of addressing all of them them in my email, could I answer him point by point within his email?
(1a) That is, embed my responses within his email?

(2) And, when I reply to him, can I say,

"Please refer to my reply, highlighted in red, (found) within your email" ?

It is very normal to do this. There are different ways you can highlight the original questions. Normally I COPY the questions from the original email (so the original email remains intact) and PASTE them into my email, and highlight each one. Then I answer them in a different font, or not italic or not bold etc

> (2) And, when I reply to him, can I say,
"Please refer to my reply, highlighted in red, (found) within your email" ?

Usually I write something like:
"I will answer your questions point by point."
or
"Let me respond to your comments one by one."
