A tad different on an iPhone OM :-) It only takes one second of thought and consideration ... nothing more :-) On 22/02/13 22:33, Jack Haverty. wrote: Another option is to get email software that is more suited to your personal needs. I happen to use GMail, and I'm quite happy with it. One of it's nice features is that it automatically collapses things like previous messages that people include in a message, so that you don't see them by default. They appear as Previous messages, and if you click on that phrase the text pops into view. If not, you just see only the most recent message text. Many people like to have the previous messages included, so that they can easily see the whole conversation without having to dig around in old saved messages (if indeed you saved them at all). The inclusion of the previous messages isn't a perfect solution at all, but if your mail reading software is slightly clever it won't force to you to actually see all that old stuff unless you really want to. Perhaps if you're unhappy with the way your email software behaves, you could ask your software vendor why they don't provide that capability 73, /Jack de K3FIV ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
Re: [Flexradio] TOO DAMNED MUCH
What Rod has suggested is good reflector etiquette. This stated as such in the FlexRadio Reflector Rules and Guidelines that everyone implicitly accepted when you joined the reflector. A quick refresher might be worthwhile (http://www.flexradio.com/Support.aspx?topic=Reflector_Guidelines) For users replying back to a post that receive their reflector messages in digest format note that there are two sections of the FlexRadio Reflector Rules and Guidelines that are most applicable. Here are the excerpts: VERY IMPORTANT: Please keep the amount of copied text from previous posts to an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM in your replies. Always delete everything from the prior post except what is necessary to keep your reply in context. Most copied messages can be reduced to one to three sentences to retain context. Remember to delete the email list footer from the previous post. Also with digest posts, the post subject line is not reflective of the topic, so the following is applicable: Sometimes you want to reply to a message but change the topic of discussion. When you do that, you should always change the subject line; if you don't, people following the thread will be confused when your message doesn't match its subject. And while I am on it, some of the replies to Rod's post were a little out of line as well. Please refer to the following: *** Please keep all postings cordial *** Restrain the urge to e-mail someone admonishing them about a posting. The last thing we want to do is to offend anyone from using the Reflectors due to discourteous and harmful postings. [snip] Enthusiastic arguments and constructive criticism is encouraged, but please keep everything cordial and friendly. Members who verbally attack another (either via the list or via direct email) will be moderated or removed from the reflector. Thanks for your time for me to remind everyone of the reflector guidelines. Have a great weekend and remember to get on the air and have some fun. That is what hobbies are all about.

Re: [Flexradio] TOO DAMNED MUCH
Actually, I lay the bulk of this problem at the feet of the digest option. It means that, you get many messages as a single email message and when you press the reply button, you get many messages included in your reply. Given that every current mail user application (MUA) threads messages (combines all the message on a single topic together in a thread), there really is no need for the digest mode. So, at the rist of being annoying to the users of the digest mode, I would suggest that they are their own worst enemy by continuing with the digest. Switching back to the standard of individual messages and then letting their MUA deal properly with messages on a common topic would go a long way toward eliminating their problem. I know that when I see a message come with a subject of Flex Radio Digest I know that it is going to contain about 1% useful information and 99% of messages that were included that have nothing to do with the topic. (Not to mention that the subject field no longer contains useful information that would allow me to know what the topic of the message is.)

Re: [Flexradio] TOO DAMNED MUCH
I wasn't going to comment on this but the arrogance and rudeness of BILLY WILLY should not go unnoticed. I too find this reflector of great value...most of the time. Rod's point is valid and appropriate. I too use a smartphone or portable computer to read the DIGEST. The recent digest with 27 copies of a lengthy series of digest replies went way beyond the limited email capacity of many smartphones. The problem, of course, is not new. It will take 2 or 3 more generations before attrition eliminates thoughtless repliers. Taking a moment to delete the original text that follows one's reply, especially when that original text is hundreds of lines, that EVERYONE HAS ALREADY SEEN, is a thoughtful and considerate practice. No matter what your stand on the lazy, inconsiderate practice of failing to trim replies, the response by Bill WILLY was unnecessary, rude and useless. Worse it added to the abundant futility that was already an entirely too long digest. If you have nothing good to say, keep it to yourself. If nothing else BILLY WILLY's reply violates the purpose and spirit of this reflector. I wish the reflector had the ability to delete any line of text that begins with which would end the lengthy reply problem fully. 73, Frank N.

I really like this reflector, and I get a lot of good information here. I'm a 3000 owner and this group has really enhanced my experience with the radio But, I get this list in digest mode. That means if you're getting a digest feed and don't clip the reply text from your message, I end up getting HUNDREDS of lines of text in the message then it gets almost impossible to find the message I want out of the pile of old stuff that's included in seemingly EVERY digest pack. PLEASE don't be so lazy that you can't trim your replies. It makes it almost impossible to read on a Smartphone and the messages themselves end up being over 1 MB each.
