Pseudo-administrative request...
Jeff Zeitlin 13 Jul 2019 17:38 UTC
"Pseudo-", because I'm _not_ one of the listparents, and thus have no real
right to make administrative requests...
... but anyway, I'd like to remind people that most email clients will
quote the entire message, including headers and footers (and past quoting),
when you reply to a message.
If you do reply to messages, please remember to trim unneeded headers,
footers, and any material in the body of the message that you're not
replying to - it really does make it easier to follow various trains of
thought through the threads, whether you do "top posting" (where your reply
comes before the material you're replying to, and has been 'encouraged' by
poorly-written email clients and the increasing use of small devices like
cellphones) or "interspersed" replies (the older convention, where you
reply to an idea right underneath it - but a convention that has been
'discouraged' by the use of HTML-enabled web-based clients that do Fancy
HTML Tricks for quoting original messages). Trimming also keeps the size of
messages down, especially now when it's quite common for email clients to
generate both HTML and text-only sections so that everyone can read them.
