Agreed, but did you see GH's comment as offensive? If I'd been on the receiving end I'd have taken it as a reference to the scads of inadvertently quoted text. PgDn to see just how much there was. Anyhow, I've been subjected to far worse (c/o Brits and Australians this week), and generally take the view that deliberate insults say more about the insulter than the insulted. It's only email yatter. > PS trimming: in Outlook (as here in Thunderbird) you just select the > unwanted text and press delete True, but that extra step is easily overlooked. In T'bird you can just highlight the bit you want quoted and press Ctrl/5 for Quote in Reply (or RMB option) or Ctrl/6 for Quote in Reply to All (ditto), and they get copied into a reply email with no trimming necessary. I've not found a way to do this in OE. -- Regards Tony Sleep http://tonysleep.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
