Sherry, perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree but looking at the emails from this year most emails were under 60KB. In my opinion this isn't a problem of what was included from prior messages put of the format. Most user are using HTML as the email format. The big ones were in HTML and had pictures included.
The problem using a HTML email is that they get very large, can include eg. a virus and what you don't want is the possibility to include pictures. I prefer to use only "plain text". That way I'm sure that there is no virus or trojan included and small. Using plain text means that the size of the emails are much smaller and are free of viruses.

Remove *everything* that doesn't pertain to what you're responding to. Sometimes you might even want to trim the specific message to include only that part of the message that your comment is relative to. Thanks for your cooperation.
