This used to be pertinent when a 5 megabyte hard drive was $1,000. Now that a 500 GB hard drive is less than $100, what difference does it make? Maybe if you are on dialup and it takes a bit of time to download the message? I for one appreciate having the entire thread in one message rather than having to hunt for the rest of the discussion, which, in my old age, I have already forgotten. That's why a computer is so nice. <g>
I have a 40 GB Eudora folder on my hard drive with 40,000 files (includes all of the attachments to messages, and embedded graphics) collected over five or so years of e-mail, including lots of subscriptions, and it just keeps chuggin' along. At any rate, I sure don't do it with cut and paste. I either select the text to be included and then hit the "reply" button, or I hit the reply button which quotes all and then delete the irrelevant parts. I don't use cut and paste at all. Do you perhaps copy/paste into a new message? And change the thread/subject? I don't get the picture.
