I agree.  My host E-mail system has a space limit and all the messages
that come in take up space.  My biggest problem is with messages where
people don't bother deleting text from the original message.  I usually
end up paging down a few screens to find a 2 line reply to the last
thing
said.  The other thing I find annoying is responses that should not have
been sent to the list (Send me a copy or Me Too) Please keep in mind
that
some of us have space limits and also time limits (2 hours in 24 hours
for
me, but hey, it was free.) Thanks.  Back to my lurking.
