It doesn't happen too often, and eventually someone deletes the extra stuff
in one of the responses.

No. Alan was referring to not pruning the extra, left over text from
previous emails. Please prune the extra off so that the conversation can be
more easily followed, and only the relevant text is moved to the response.

Yes, but that's what yahoo archives are for. And Gname has a viewer to this
mailing list also. And you could save the messages you think are important,
like I do.

Not that it matters, but I use Outlook, sorted by time, and defaulted to
company standard html, and have to reformat all the messages I send (what
limited number I do send). The program is not important.
It's the group convention. Not that we'll kick you out or anything, but it
does help to manage all the requests, the responses from those nice enough
to share their expertise, and the helpful info contained therein. Esp those
who write whole books of useful stuff in their responses, pruning helps to
keep the noise ratio down. People start skimming those longer emails, and
questions get lost.
