About 35 lines of junk quotes

This is a threaded news environment. It is definitely NOT necessary to
quote
entire articles that you are responding to. Just a couple of lines is
enough.
If people need more they can go look at the original which is right
there.

Please Robert (Leif) adjust your mailer (no doubt from our friends at
Microsoft) to NOT automatically quote the entire message.

I must say that I see an epidemic lately of

a) people including junk HTML attachments that are redundant copies of
messages. This of course serves no purpose, generates junk in many
environments, and constitutes a security risk.

b) people quoting entire messages all the time. The most aggravating
is when you get two people doing it at one another and generating
quadratic amounts of
quoted junk.

I gather that microsoft mailers are prone to encouraging people to
make these
two annoying mistakes. But they can be tamed. It is one thing for
ignorant users of computers to be stuck with inappropriate microsoft
defaults, but we
are supposed to be people who know something about computers :-)
