Ok, sorry if I was one from those who send the message without cutting it out. Maybe this is a problem for those who read the messages with a Linux mail client, or something like that, and I will try to remember to cut off the unneeded stuff. I don't think it is a problem for those who pay the Internet or phone by minute. What does it mean 2 or 3 KB more on some messages. I also pay per minute and for a few hundreads of messages, the time of downloading the mail is around 5 to 10 minutes. So trimming the messages will mean 1 or 2 minutes less. Is it this so much? I've also seen some messages that don't include the original message at all, and this is a problem sometimes because I don't know what was the thread. I think there is another problem here but I don't know what is it. However, I will try to remember to cut off the text when I reply to this list.
