Buy bottom replying, not only can you remove unwanted bits. But you can reply in context to a quoted statement or statements above. Doing so via having to reference an entire email would be a pita. Think if nothing was ever include in any reply. Others would have no clue on context. They would be forced to read entire thread or etc. Verses reading some aspects of a reply and getting the just of thread based on context quotes and replies. -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
