There is no need to include the entire previous message. This is a mailing list, after all. People already have the complete copy of the entire thread. If the reply and replied-to text don't fit on the screen then reader's time is wasted. Google for: "I'm sorry I wrote such a long letter. I did not have the time to write a short one." Wietse
