The point is that there is absolutely no need for it.
The polite and only way for a list reply is to quote as this
example shows. Tacking the complete old orginal message at the
end indicates that no portion of it was quoted and it therefore
serves no useful purpose at all.
Just got to join Cameron and others in asking for people to be a
little more considerate. It is not much to ask.
On a different note. Thanks for the rocoto seeds Cameron.
They are waiting for early spring.
