I assume you are talking about reading a digest. Depending on your user's MUA, the user may be able to get close to the desired result by setting her/his "Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?" option to MIME. >Also, is there a setting in >Mailman which will eliminate the redundant messages each time someone >responds? It's called 'moderation' :-) No. there's no automated way to strip unnecessary quoting from list posts. You have to train your users. You can post pleas to the list and publicly chastize people who don't comply until they get the point (or go away), or you can moderate offenders and send their posts back to them for editing until they get it right (or go away), or you can moderate the offenders and fix their posts for them (way too much work), or you can just post an occasional reminder (which does little good) and ignore the problem. One thing I've thought of but never tried is to make the list 'digest only' for a period of time. This would probably be a disaster however. You'd just get a digest full of posts with subject "Re: xxx digest, Vol nn, Issue, nn", most of which quoted the entire digest to which they were replying.
