All,
My Vote:
- New message at the top - avoids a ton of scrolling around to read
the relevant information.
- Trim old messages to just the salient point answered.
- Change the subject to match the new thread.

The suggestion is to answer all threads at the END of the mail
and not at the beginning like most e-mail programs will set you up to do. If it
is a long thread, like the present EWP one, it gets quite old to scroll forth
and back and stay sync with the order of answers given!:(
Actually, our favorite
list provider (Marvin) has a pet peeve too. He has asked on many occasions
that we NOT continue to quote old messages. He would like us to only quote
a relevant piece of the message. Since he archives this stuff for us, it
would save a bunch of disc space. Sometimes when I see multiple messages
quoted within a single message, I just imagine Marvin beating his head
against the keyboard :-)
I personally like colors
(as you may have noticed), because it makes it easy to see the new text.
As for the subject
abuse, that's been mentioned before. I don't really recall anyone
violating that today. It's hard for me to imagine having to live with
only dial-up these days. If it were my only option, I'd spend
the food budget on semi-high speed from DirecTV for
$99/mo. Just too dependent on internet.
Cheers,
Rusty (typing slowly for Bernie's
dial-up <g>)
