I emailed a co-worker/client about some things i can do to help them. The email included multiple questions. All i got back in response was "yes."

How i can respond that will relay that i did not appreciate their BS reply and would like more information?
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

"I did not appreciate your BS reply, would like more information."

Or if you are non-confrontational: "I did not appreciate your BS reply lol, would like more information"

Is this a co-worker or a client? What kind of questions did you ask?

I use a simple rhetorical question: "Do you ever get the feeling no one likes you?" 

It immediately cuts down to their insecurities. 
Good is better than Evil because it's nicer.

Copy the supervisor with a " thank-you, for your time. "
