While I respect your frustration, will not that make following the context of a discussion more of a challenge? say if someone has asked a question, and the respond is simply no, that will not work? How will someone, say researching the issue later, gather the information they seek, without reading many messages and piecing the story together?
Just a thought,

Dear list,

Could people please try and ensure they are not quoting conversation history or 
previous posts in their posts.

I receive the threads in digest mode, and Mail therefore doesn't block out the 
quoted conversation history. It makes it really difficult when I have to read 
through the whole conversation history every time to get to the next post. 
Especially as this keeps getting longer and longer, it can become a nightmare 
for the really popular threads.

I'm sure this is an issue for other people as well, and for viewing on the 
website.

So please, please, either edit Mail preferences so it doesn't automatically 
quote the original message, or just select all (Command-A) and then delete 
before you type your reply. Given that most email services these days support 
conversation threading, I'm not sure what the point is anymore of quoting the 
original messages. But if it's something you really love to do, then please 
just delete it for this particular list.

Many thanks in advance and kind regards,

Nic
