And there's plenty of people who don't thread messages into any particular order, just reading them in the order they lobbed in. The previous message(s) displayed in their mail client is probably a completely different thread. Each message really needs to be clearly understandable when reading it all by itself. That doesn't mean quote the entire message, just enough to make sense. I might get hundreds of (not spam) email a day, so will many others on mailing lists. We're not going to remember all the details from prior messages. We'll pop back and look when it's really necessary, but not for every message. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 18 16:34:56 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
