It's entirely down to the users - Outlook is perfectly capable of doing things, err, "properly", but users generally can't be bothered to interleave answers with the questions they are answering. It's so bad that, as others have said, it has now become the "standard" in business circles to top post and include absolutely everything from the message they are replying to, and I mean everything - old messages, attachments, signatures, encryption signatures, everything. When I have asked people about it and tried to explain the illogicalness of doing it, they generally say that it's more convenient to have all past messages in the same email rather than having to look at other messages; one even told me that it was more convenient when they printed the email. One person who I regularly exchange emails with now puts at the top "answers are interleaved with the questions to keep Pete happy" - as if I'm the bizarre one. Others have complained my messages don't say anything because they don't bother looking beyond the start of the first quoted message. :-( And to get this back on topic a bit. We still haven't heard from anyone who uses digests as to why they prefer to use them. We'll even let you reply to the digest you see this in and we won't tell you off! Patrick, what was the result of your tests about moderating replies to digests?
