Hi James,
You had one good point there. I have now turned "automaticallly quote reply" off in
my m,ailer preferences. Now my replies shoulkld include only such part of the

Since all the top-posters are weighing in, I better add my vote against it.

Hi Jenda,
I would suggest that you need a better mail client or message-filing system. Most
