Re: screen clutter

Please trim as much as possible of the message to which you are 
responding from your response: headers, footers, etc.  Leave just enough 
to allow others to recognize the sender.  Better yet, quote the passages 
to which you are responding in the body of your note, and delete the 
appended duplicate.  

I realize that many e-mail packages either append or begin with the old 
message automatically, but it is rather self-defeating to make others 
wade through repetition after repetition before they get to your new 
words.  I page by the duplicates quickly, and may miss things thereby, 
but I refuse to waste time with repeats.  I get the digest, so the 
situation is very apparent.
