RE: Could you all please trim your posts?

[Guest guest]

Connie, I'll try hard to remember not to send the entire string, as it's difficult for you to read. I suppose you get digest form?

Connie,

I am one who likes the string. If I pick

up my emails at end of the day, I can just go to the last email of a string. I

also have a short memory and often refer to previous messages in the string to

remind me. It would be difficult to go back and find the previous message.

Just another thought on the subject.

But on the other side of the coin, when getting individual

messages, it is very annoying not to see the original message string. I do

prefer to see the entire string, then I can just delete all the earlier

messages.

I do know what you mean though, as I do get digests for other

lists. Unfortunately, there is really no way to please everyone.

Thanks!

It is really difficult to read the digest when

one gets the entire string each time.

Thanks!

When I hit reply to group, no string shows up below my "compose a message" so I have no way to trim. Never thought of it before, but I'm now sending this message to see if the entire string shows up in my message. Not trying to be annoying if it does!

I was on another group that had us trim everything besides the original post we were responding to. For instance, we got rid of all of the extra stuff such as the email address, group ads, etc. So it looked like this. I'm responding now to your post, Darcy and I left what I was responding to below. If there was a long thread going on we left it all there but otherwise we truncated it.--- On Fri, 2/26/10, Darcy <ddarcy@...> wrote

This is probably a lost cause. Some folks will do it, but others might not have the know-how, and nowadays there are so many email clients (including desktop, web, iphone, blackberry) that many folks might not even have control over it even if they wanted to... I'll try to do it though ;-)

, you can control this within your own email tool. There is

an option to include original messages in your reply or not. Your option must

be checked as “not”.

BTW, I do definitely agree with trimming out all the extra stuff

adds to the end of messages!
