It sounds like you're receiving the digest version. That would cause all 
of these difficulties.


I would suggest a better way is to just subscribe to receive individual 
messages as they are posted and have your email client filter them to a 
folder devoted to just this list's messages. Your client probably has a 
facility to group the messages in threads, although between people who 
are responding to a digest post, and people who are too lazy to start a 
new thread when they post a new topic, this is a little hit or miss, 
depending on whether your client looks at the message ID or the message 
subject to sort the messages to threads. At any rate this is a better 
solution and should allow you to simply hit reply and be done and of 
course you can copy relevant text before you reply to save you time 
editing the quoted text that accompanies your reply.


Good Luck,

Warren

What are you using to write, read, manage and reply to posts from the 
use-livecode list?


What are you using for an email client?
I'm using Thunderbird.
Email comes in, I click Reply, email goes out.
