[snip 220-odd quoted lines] > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-April/215805.html Hi James, You seem to have mislaid your snipper. It is very useful for when you're replying to a very large post, and all you want to do is add a single line at the end. It reduces frustration in readers who find themselves scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling through quoted text they've already read, wondering why you've quoted all this stuff if you aren't actually commenting on it, and prevents readers from unfairly dismissing you as just another "metoobie". -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
