Is this because they actually want it or they don't know any better? That's not a troll - I'm painfully aware that I am not an 'average user' and am genuinely interested. and enlightening conversation occurred with my Mum earlier this month when I asked her to trim her posts and not jeopardy/top quote. Apart from the difficulties that Outlook puts in here way she did try it for my sake but admitted that she actually likes it because it means she dioesn't have to archive her mail and can read all mails from previously in the thread in the same mail and also bring new people in the thread up to speed quickly. I could almost see her point.
