I've mused in the past about having a thread-analyser that puts back all the deleted parts of the message (by following the thread back, of course) and putting together a unified version that encapsulated the entire discuccion so it can be read in order. The fact that threads branch is a minor problem -- displaying the unified message with a tree-browser is even a possibility. But excessive trimming, so that it becomes hard to figure out what went where, is a problem. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
