What does "snip" between two paragraphs mean? I'm Japanese, and English isn't my native language. Thanks in advance.

What the mouse (icarus62) says is right. The word "snip" is a verb that usually means to cut with scissors. It is an onomatopoeia, meaning that the word sounds like the action it describes, the sound of cutting with scissors. The meaning in an e-mail reply is that somthing has been cut out.

It means that someone was replying to something you wrote, but chose to delete ('snip') that particular part of your text because it wasn't necessary to repeat it.
