It is easy to set preferences to not include message in the reply. I suggest that people not use their personal address but have another one for things such as mailing lists if they want to keep the original message in their personal letters.. What irritates me is when people have the message below the message replied to. you have to search for the message. The topic title is sufficient. If you haven't read the previous message you need to go back and read your older mail first. If people would at least do that it would be much better. Another thing that is irritating is when they have the single reply carat marking the message so you have to figure out which Is the message being sent. Is it at the very bottom or did they send a reply without any message at all. Frank
