I suppose leaving the URL at the top is ok, but reminds me of the evil offense of top posting. I also think that the last four lines quoted above should go away. Do we really need the 150+ byte message tacked onto ever message posted in bugzilla? The following URL shows (at least to me) that the current formatting clutters the actual content. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2010-09/msg02740.html -- Configure bugmail: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Do we really need the 150+ byte message tacked > onto ever message posted in bugzilla? If you are complaining about emails being 150 bytes too large, that's a pretty weak reason. Also, these 4 lines are in the signature of the email. Any good email client would display them in a less prominent way, e.g. Thunderbird. -- Configure bugmail: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So, how do I selectively strip of these signatures with mutt and elm and leave all other signatures that I want to see alone? Are you saying that you do not find http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2010-09/msg02740.html to be too cluttered?. Yes, some of us do use the email archive to read old threads. With this email there will now be 7 copies of the signature in the archive (not counting the 3 examples purposely included in the text of the email for discussion). How are you going to force people into trimming their replies to emails to carefully remove the signature? There are numerous examples of people who simply hit reply, add their text, and hit send without editing the original text. -- Configure bugmail: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug.

And that's the problem. With or without the signature being present, the most annoying part is all these useless quoted lines which are irrelevant to the reply. Imagine someone replying to your comment 0, and leaving the quoted message alone. The 4 lines of the signature are honestly a peanut compared to the 50 lines or so of the original comment, and wouldn't be responsible for the clutter. But I'm going to remove the signature for the mailing-lists, so that people won't complain anymore. -- Configure bugmail: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Me too. I was looking at older emails from bugzilla and compared them to the newer ones, I had harder time dealing with the olders. Note this was just recently I have been looking at ones older than 2010.
