Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 What is meant by trimming messages is.......when you reply to someone's post you eliminate their message and just post your reply. You could leave a couple of sentances that pertain to your answer or comment. The problem with not trimming messages is that you can have tons of posts on one email and those who get all of the posts in a daily digest get this huge file. Also then people have to weed through all of the previous posts and comments. Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Dearest Kristan, You did a great job trimming your message! Thanks. How to Trim is in the FILES on the left menu, in the " Candida Group Information " Folder, just after the " Candida Diet " Folder. Cheers, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Please Trim Your Messages It is important that you trim your messages prior to sending them, for two important reasons: 1. Some people receive digests via email and it can become quite a chore to scroll through lengthy posts, trying to find where one message ends and the next one begins. 2. Trimming messages saves on our Group's archival space. When you reply to a message you have the option of editing the previous message(s) however you see fit. The process is quite simple, and most people seem to go about it in one of two ways: 1. After hitting the 'Reply' button you can highlight and delete all of the text from the message you are responding to, other than quotes that are necessary to your own message for the sake of clarity, OR 2. You can use the 'Reply' button twice to open up two different reply messages. In the second message you can select and delete everything. Then, in the first message, highlight only the quote that you want to include from the first reply message, and copy and paste it into the second reply message, which becomes the *only* one that you send. So, let's all try to remember to trim our posts completely (including all of the signature information at the bottom). TIA, Bee Wilder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 ----- Original Message ---- From: yoganandaom <OM@...> Hi , I didn't know anything about how to use a computer and not a lot more about Kombucha back then, but I knew I wanted to learn about both. To trim a post you need to decide what in the post that you are responding to is important enough that you should send it with your reply so that your reply makes sense enough to put it in context. Peace, Love and Harmony, Bev Hey Bev, You were the one!! I tried thanks to Good ole funny , and Beth wrote to me too. I played and played. Finally with your e-mail " By Goerge I think I've got it !!!! " I really put myself out there. I mean who does not know how to work a computer these days. My experence with KT is sure teaching me how to streach and grow in so many ways. Thanks for patients!!!! > > > > > > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- --- > > Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi Tiff and EveryOne, The first one to help me with computer stuff was Collen the list owner of the Kombucha Mailing list. Only right then, that I should pass on the tradition:-)) It is far better to ask when you don't know, than to think you know when what you know is incorrect. May we all be willing to learn and grow together.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Morning Kristy, Getting members to trim messages can be like trying to stop a freight train in full speed J the forum I have it took months and constant monitoring which is something I don’t think the moderators have time for here. Another solution that might work for you is to have a gmail account (or one of your choosing) dedicated to one specific forum. I have several gmail accounts just for that purpose. Now I have a nice data base of post, can star the post that have pertinent info for my uses and discard the rest. I tried digest on several forums and never could make heads or tails of all the trailing post so found a work around. Xxx rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that you are usually attacked for just asking. Hope you get a better response here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Yes, Just because digest is available doesn't mean it's the best choice. Chuck *If Wile E.
