I'd think that the *only* reason for quoting something is if it's worth reading and the recipient may wish to read it to understand the context of your reply. I almost always read some part of the quotations and enjoy messages that have the reply material nested with the quotations. It makes for a much smoother read. Why quote it with the knowledge that it may become unreadable for the recipient? This doesn't make sense in my opinion. <shrug> Your signature should really be at the end of the message. If the user wishes to do multiple level quoting then your method makes it difficult for the recipient who wishes to reply. What happened to what the recipient may prefer instead of what the sender prefers to do? Afterall, isn't the message for the recipient and therefore the recipients comfort? - -- -=Allie C Martin=- List Moderator | TB! v1.60q | Windows XP Pro PGP/GPG Public Key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=2B0717E2 _________________________________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE9AgxgV8nrYCsHF+IRAlyYAJ46qBsbqpIMpn5PmKVFnR0sDl6iogCfbZBw yTvhpmdq8QbsZR/QdsYDbWQ= =30CW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
