I can only second that, however, since the e-mail client program of a company 
who shall remain nameless here :-)) has introduced this stupid habit of adding 
the "original message" to the bottom of the reply, we can't seem to get rid of 
this annoying phenomenon any more... Especially when people include the whole 
thread again and again, instead of trimming down what they quote to the bare 
minimum...

To tell you frankly, I'm equally annoyed by the habit of said program to send 
HTML messages of absolutely insane proportions: every single paragraph might 
have several times more ballast than real contents (or even CSS styles not ever 
used in the message). I normally let these messages through a HTML-cleansing 
filter in my e-mail client and many a time I end up with 5 KB worth of data out 
of a 50 KB incoming message... I know hard drive space is cheap nowadays but we 
are all programmers here, hopefully many of us of the old school who feel some 
kind of physical pain to see such a waste induced by sloppy programming... :-))

Bye,
