Me too. We all are probably guilty of not reading every email/post that
comes out, so it does give you a chance to look back quickly about whats
going on with out having togo back to the archive which a BIG PIA!!

Hi, All,
If we're taking votes, I find histories attached to emails quite helpful,
most of the time.
Cheers,

Hi Brian,
That's a great idea. As an unrepentant luddite, I have never read an
email on a phone. Actually, the only things I have ever done on a
phone are : talk and very rarely send text messages. The extra hassle
(for mobile browsers) caused by multiple quoted emails at the end of a
List post never occurred to me. I'll try to remember that from now
on.
Best regards,
MikeG
