I would guess that it's set like that because: 1) People can't/won't/don't know how to (pick any/all) trim down their replies 2) When you reply to a digest, without trimming down the reply it becomes _extreamly_ messy 3) Dubble (2) if the mail client send it out as html Basicly, it think it's to keep the list "cleaner" Best regards Michael Boman PS I personally _really_ dislike getting responses from a digest.. Almost as much as getting replies from auto-responders saying so-and-so is on holiday - when you email'ed a mailinglist.
