RE: ENOUGH,,,,, with the copied

One place where it is a benefit to having the entire thread in an e-mail is
when browsing the archives.  It saves a lot of time.

I agree.  I sign up for the individual RPG400 messages but receive the
archived MIDRANGE-L messages.  A lot of times when glancing through the
headers I'll see a message that catches my interest, I think I may know
a solution, I want to see what the solution is, etc...

When I browse down to those messages it is nice to be able to quickly
grasp the topic thread without having to try to find the original message,
which I probably deleted the day before anyway.

For the RPG thread I keep thread topics that are still pending an answer
then delete the whole thread at once.

Regardless, the long thread quotes don't bug me at all either way, as most
people will just post their response on the top of the message (as this one)
where I can read the response and not bother to read the entire quoted
thread
if I don't want to.

I do try to clean up the quotes I'm quoting, but I'm not militant about it.

Regards,

Jim Langston
