Yes, David, that's it--replies only. A question arises, though: why are these attachments viewed by some people as (ob)noxious? I could see an issue, perhaps, if people are on dialup or billed by the byte, but the attachments are actually quite small, yes?? So why is there an objection? I understand that it is not the best programming, but I thought one person was going to... Another question, as long as I have the experts' ears: Why doesn't this happen when I reply to messages on other lists, when I am using exactly the same setup for email?

That's quite common for many web-based email clients (gmail is a terrible offender on that, using Base64 encoding whenever there's a reply, but plain text otherwise). The only thing to do is talk to the sysadmins for the university and ask if they can fix it (there's no OWA option for changing text format), or to get a free email account that allows you to use a proper email client. -- David W.
