Hi Liz Yes, when that email was sent about trimming old replies, I will admit, I was planning on writing back to ask how one can follow an ongoing thread when trimming all of the content. I will trim whatever I can in this email that is not vital to the coherence of the thread.
As another great example, if I replied to this email, how can people figure out what I am responding to? Again, if you receive only a handful of emails per day, it would be less of a challenge to figure this out. I do agree that facebook would not be a good substitute for email list, for precisely the same reason.
