That would work if I bottom-posted. However, 98% of my email and
newsgroups are not technically-oriented (where bottom-posting seems
to be the standard), and it would drive the others crazy, top-posting
is the standard for them. Also, I thread all my inbound email. By the
time a thread gets to be 10 or 15 (or more) messages long, wading
through all those messages to find the latest message becomes a
tremendous waste of time.

Otherwise your idea would work. Stanimir's does exactly what I
needed.

OK.

Still, outside of a tech-support context, pruning is a good practice regardless of your other choices. There's generally no need to retain the entire thread in every message, it just becomes needless clutter.
