Tom
In the early days of my using the list I quickly encountered the problem of
the rejection of a post so carefully and painstakingly constructed. I was
informed by some kind person - trying to give credit on the basis of feeble
memory it may have been John Giltner - that I needed to discard the three
lines starting "For IBM-MAIN ..." which the system slaps onto the bottom of
each distributed post.
As long as I do this, only some excessively verbose posts of mine - caused
possibly by excessive quoting of some, one hopes, relevant technical
material I happened to have created over the years and had the wit to
retain - fall foul of the IBM-MAIN system - in transit that is!
It's possible this point is covered in the FAQ to which you were referred
but, taking a quick, glance I didn't spot it.

Thanks Greg. So it basically as I figured. Everyone edits that reply to
include just what is needed from previous posts. Ok, I can handle that.

Subject: Question about the listserv
I have a question on the proper use of the IBMMain listserv. At times
when I reply my reply is rejected because "it contains an excessive
amount of quoted material from previous posts". I don't have this
problem with other listservs. What is the proper way to reply to a post
on IBMMain?
