Why would you be leaving _unreferenced_ old material in your reply in the first place? If someone wants to have all the history, it can be extracted from the mailing list archives and/or by the mail or news reader easily enough using the reference headers. There is no necessity for boring everybody with unrelated material over and over again. And it is extremely impolite if you are actually just making a point related to a single sentence to let the reader sift through a whole time-reversed conversation in order to figure out what you are presumably talking about. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
