No, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to automatically strip out the extra verbiage at all. Like I said earlier folks for those of you who use digest mode and that's perfectly fine just be mindful when hitting reply the entire digest will then get posted to the list by default if your client is set to include the message you are replying to.

David made a comment about this recently. I was wondering if everyone realizes that when your preferences are set in "Digest" mode, you will re-transmit the entire digest every time you send a message using the Control R "Reply" option unless the remainder of the information is deleted. The problem is bad enough with many links still being in a message but it is really a problem when the entire digested text is included. Every message becomes massive. It's easy enough to remove the rest of the information and retain your own message. David, is there a way to strip that information from the messages as they come into the system? Anyway, after you have responded to the message you are interested in, just press and hold the left Shift and Control key simultaneously. Then hit the End key, number 1 on the keypad. That highlights all of the information to the end of the message. Then press the Delete key and it's gone. If most of you know that, just ignore my message but I'll bet there are members who don't realize how simple the process can be. This is assuming that you have Outlook Express set to show your message immediately before the one you are replying to. David, I don't use Digest Mode at all. I never thought about those who just hit Control R and reply. You'd lose your buffer in a hurry if that continues.
