When we ask him to change the way he replies, he gets the same

"I get little free time, I wish to make it useful for the community.
I check email and reply, if I know the answers for any queries.
If there are restrictions a.k.a guidelines on how I have to reply to a
email,
I will skip replying, instead of formatting the email for better
readability.
to be frank, we do not need such people on this list. This attitude is
typical of the casual, sloppy, unprofessional attitude towards work that
many people have. If you do something, take pride in doing it to the
best of your ability in an orderly and correct manner, respecting the
rules and conventions followed in the field in which you are operating.
If you cannot, do everyone a favour by going and doing something else.
Formulating a reply on a mailing list - or contributing code to a
project, or filing a bug report or anything else worth doing is worth
doing well.
