I was going to write an explanation about trimming posts, but a quick Google found exactly what I wanted to say - and probably much better than I could say it:
Trim, trim, trim. When you are replying to a post, please quote only the relevant parts of the message you are replying to. Be sure to leave in enough so that someone reading your message understands what you are responding to, but it is rare to need 30 lines of the previous post to understand the context of your one line reply. Also please trim any tag lines and long signature blocks of the previous message. The unsubscribe and archive link reminders should be removed automatically by your email program. If they are not please delete them as they will automatically be added to your email when it's sent to the other members. http://www.acfichapter.com/subscribe.htm Thanks Russ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
