Try with just one part of the message. Start with a single paragraph. I'm not sure exactly what its doing, but generally works for me when replying to emails from product suppliers, only reply to their own part (which is generally text) while ignoring all the advertorials which make up 90% of the email. So, if the email looks like:- --------------------------------------------- XXX has said:- <whatever she said> /* LOTS OF COLOURFUL ADVERTS */ --------------------------------------------- I'd just highlight the part labelled <whatever she said>. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
