Dave: I know you like quoting messages in your replies, but 8 lines of quotation for 2 lines of reply seems a little… excessive. I'll admit that quoting has its place, but generalized quoting (called cascading) is really a hold-over from USENET, where there are no threads. Most of us have off-line message readers, and are able to look back in a thread to see what a response is about. With a little thought you can reply without quoting, yet relate the subject to the original message. Evan
