A request concerning replies.

Hello all, I am finding it rather difficult to read many of the messages in the digests I receive. May I suggest something that would help make the messages more readable? The biggest help would probably be quoting only the parts of the messages you need to make it clear what you are responding to. For example. Original e-mail: ------------------------- What inks are you using? What printer? Have you seen the movie "Attack of the Killer Duck-billed Platypuses?" I thought it was great, especially part where yadda, yadda, yadda. It's my favorite movie. (goes on for three paragraphs about Natalie Coleman.) -------------------------- Reply: ------------------------- >What inks are you using? What printer? I'm using Piezo in an 1160. Finally, no guesswork! >Have you seen the movie "Attack of the Killer Duck-billed Platypuses?" (remainder cut out) Yes. And now my family won't let me have a say in what we see when we go out. BTW, isn't this off topic? ------------------------- I don't mean to tweak any feathers. I know the default for most e-mail programs now is to quote everything. It only take a moment to clean things up. I would guess that over half of the bandwidth in some of the digests are used up by repeated messages, some several messages deep. Thanks, Mark
