It's really a pain in the neck! to get messages with interspersed dialogue especially when you've already read the originator's message two messages ago so you have to listen to the whol thing again! and again! and again! and then figure out who said what. Sighted persons can just use colors or highlighting to set off the participants but we can't discern the difference as easily. Unfortuneately too, I have my original message set to be posted and forget to cut it out but it's after my comments so with a screen reader and pine, you just press spacebar to go to next page and you don't have to listen to the junk at the end. Yes it's sloppy but when I have a bunch of mail to bullet through and sometimes I get over a hundred per day, laziness sets in! big time ha! I personally prefer it that people post what they have to say at the beginning of the message and if one wanted to leave in what was said previously for contextual purposes, then the reader can elect to go down farther into the message and re-read anything which needs clarification and one doesn't have to go and hunt down the original message.
