No, that won't do because: 1. If a mail has multiple queries, the reader needs to know what part is the reply to which query. (Interleaved posting works best here.) 2. There might be situations when a subscriber wants to reply to the mail which does not immediately precede his/her reply in the thread. 3. A subscriber might reply to more than one mail in the thread in a single mail. -- Salvadesswaran Srinivasan http://www.twitter.com/salva_eswar http://queasyquagmire.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
