Uh, you quoted _everything_. Please don't. It's usually simple enough to use your mail reader or news reader or the web interface or whatever to get more context (as there are headers indicating the message threading). However, Patrick, judging from his quote, was responding to a _digests_. Those lose all threading information. The answer, _obviously_, is not to indiscriminately quote everything. That would makes the impact of thread posts grow quadratically with thread length, and of digest answers grow exponentially. So obviously one quotes _only_ what is immediately relevant to the reply. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
