People on blindness lists don’t seem to like it very much when I do that … I try to paraphrase what I’m replying to as best I can, or quote if I have no other choice or for humorous effect, but I can’t in good conscience include the entire message, especially below my reply. The effect is to make it harder to follow the thread if someone is arriving in the middle of it. It also messes up web archives pretty good, especially Google Groups which looks like a forum to people using the web interface. And yeah, it’s kinda lazy and rude. If everybody did it, it would be very annoying to understand the meaning of a one-line reply that follows ten prior messages of back and forth, in reverse chronological order. So sorry you didn’t pick out the original context, I’ll try harder in future to word things a bit better. Or, if quoting is not so abhorrent to participants on this list, I can quote (very selectively, naturally) to make it easier for you to understand the message. We VoiceOver users all have that power, to know which lines are quoted. Cheers, Sabahattin -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
