Seeing all the "noise" generated the past few days, there's something else
I'd like to suggest:

<BIG FAT FONT>
When replying to a mail, you don't need to include 100 lines of text 
especially
when all you're gonig to say is "I agree" or "oh oh"!!!
</BIG FAT FONT>

Years ago the custom was to reply *below* the included mail, or to answer
"by blocks" like this:

 -----------------------------
 > bla bla bla bla
 > bla bla bla bla

  I proclaim that you're full of bla bla.

 > etc...
 -----------------------------

In this way we have a few advantages:
1) we actually re-read the mail that we're answering
2) we have the opportunity to snip out irrelevant parts and lengthy 
signatures
3) we can read arguments and responses in chronological order which 
makes much
more sense than reading the response and then scrolling down to read the
original message.


back to work
