  ......I agree that including salient parts of prior postings can be helpful--sometimes the abbrevations posted here are more challenging than the NYT (New York Times) crossword puzzle.  .......

  ..... "..As threads develop, trim off excess portions of earlier messages to keep them short.".....

  ...... Sometimes a single reply of 2 words includes a 
  string of notes, each with the admin info at the end, making a single 2 word posting 4-5 pages long! ......

  It would be a nice thing if we could include enough of a prior thread to make sure replies are useful (Like Michel asks for), but trim all the excess stuff off the bottom.....

  Closing notes:  

  1.  I'm offering this as a positive suggestion for all of us--my apologies to Tom and Michel for using their notes for an example--  :-)

  2.  I think (i'm guessing here) this happens most often when users get individual emails instead of the digest.  The admin info is included at the end of each mail sent out and also on the bottom of each digest.  When users get the individual emails and choose reply to the list, their email program includes the admin info, but they likely never scroll down far enough to ever see it and therefore don't realise they are sending it along with therir reply.

  3.  Perhaps the group moderator would consider changing to an edited, abbreviated 
  version of the admin info with a link to a more detailed version?



  Very positive remarques & suggestions here, I usually trim off the bottom as described above but probably missed it in my previous post. Thanks for this and hope anyone could do it.
  I trimed this post to keep the main idea intact, see how it comes out.
