Not very well. The problem is that html mails tend to use indent tags, instead of the normal "> ", to denote quoting,. So when you strip the html, the text flattens - then you can't tell who wrote what. >I think a better approach to 2 is to limit the quoted text to a percentage. A hard limit doesn't always work well either. Sometimes a post is just so convoluted that even after you've removed the noise, you end up with a lot of necessary context to quote. >I had never heard of the List-id header. Tell your mail client to view some messages in their raw form, so you can visually review all the headers. There are some useful / interesting things there! Mailing lists aren't consistent with header use, tho. So I tend to just filter on the To header, or sometimes "any" header. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
