Hi Owen, Hi everybody,
Oh, I love it when you-guys talk dirty. My citizen imagination LEAPS to the idea of a vanilla welcome. And a popup that offers incognito, Oh MAN! I would eat that pop-up and wander the streets of Santa Fe as invisible as a ghost. Or is that a pop-over? Is the problem THIS hard? It would seem to me that the first step would be to simply reorder the email messages eliminating any previous email messages automatically included in each subsequent message. Once the messages were in the right order and the inclusions of previous messages were eliminated, I could write macro’s to get rid of the headers. By inclusions I don’t mean places where somebody intentionally pulled out a passage from somebody’s message to comment on. (I believe you call that quotation.) I mean the routine inclusion of prior messages as a part of the reply process. Nick Nicholas S.

Maybe true for all of us. Chrome: click on the url with the ctl key down and a popup will offer incognito as an option. -- Owen On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 10:28 AM, Owen Densmore <o...@backspaces.net <mailto:o...@backspaces.net> > wrote: I'm sure there is a reasonable solution, but would require effort, an editorial role. If you do start putting snippets together, I'd recommend https://medium.com/ as the site to use. It's outlook is less bloggy and more chatty, yet your posts can be organized under your name or a tag. They also are clear it is about *writing* and *stories*, not tech. They even had the nerve to *not* use Markdown, thus losing most techies. :) -- Owen On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 6:44 AM, Roger Critchlow <r...@elf.org <mailto:r...@elf.org> > wrote: Nick -- Look at https://storify.com/ -- rec -- On Wed, Oct 26, 2016 at 10:03 PM, Nick Thompson <nickthomp...@earthlink.net <mailto:nickthomp...@earthlink.net> > wrote: Dear everybody, On several occasions, this one included, I have gotten involved in email exchanges on FRIAM and elsewhere that were so good that I wanted to save them in chronological order and perhaps edit them into some kind of text for the authors to present elsewhere. Two years ago I spent an entire May trying to write a macro that would do this, but it ultimately defeated me. Has anybody else thought about this problem. I think lots of good thought gets spilt into email and never sees the light of day. Thanks for your thoughts. Nick
