They just want to say something, sometimes useless, because it is already said/answered a few lines down). Speaking more technically, the problem is that 'modern' MUA, like OutLook crap, thunderbird or other browser-like MUA do not invite to post and quote correctly. They put the cursor above the first line (sometimes you can not even configure this, and also not the correct citation with '> ') and they do not provide the required tools/commands to trim the old text, i.e. for example delete 150 lines with just saying '150dd' or '.,$-20d' or others. In these 'modern' MUA you must carefully place the cursor with the mouse, highlight even more carefully the text you want to delete, and doing this with the limitation of a smartphone is really a PITA. That's why I do prefer 'mutt' and 'vim'. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045 ¡Dios querido denos otra vez los problemas de ayer, los que tuvimos en la RDA!
