Hi Ann and all,
By overquoting I presume you mean including the original email in
a reply.
I suspect most people get sort of lured into including multiple
emails.
What I mean is this.
If I had included your email, it might have made the context of
my reply more clear, or relevant.
(Probably not in this case).
So one person includes the previous reply, because they think it
might be beneficial, but that email includes the one before, for
the same reason.
Meanwhile, the initial email might now be less relevant to the
most recent one.
Perhaps we should all just try not including the email, and see
if it hurts.
I also thought that you could download a month of the archive at
a time.
I have tried this a few times, but it always seems to stop.
(The progress beeps stop and never restart, even after several
minutes).
Now, if I remember right, a months worth isn't a megabyte, which
even on dial-up should take less than three minutes.
What it might be good to have is a database of articles where you
could search their titles.
If you found one that matched what you were after, then check it
and it's replies.
If necessary add a reply which would not implicitly include
anything.
If you didn't find anything, start a new article, (or topic).
But that might be a whole new application.
Regards,
Steve.
