Ha-ha-ha LOL That was indeed funny Dan! But seriously, sending mails to the list, that just accumulate obsolete text is just as irritating as sending multiple mails or html format, and IMO just plain laziness. It uses up space, makes it, as Leonard says, hard to see the message, and probably qualifies as netiquette breach big style. But this matter has been voiced many, many times, and to no avail, sadly. I often wonder, why this problem cannot be dealt with automatically by setting up the mail robot? Best wishes G.
