[DUG] Contents of Delphi digest...

[Jolyon Smith]

Ø  Just wondering if there is a Tutorial on how to trim replies?

Ø  I think highlighting the text and deleting works ?????

 

It’s a tough one for a mail list, as context for a reply isn’t intrinsically
preserved in the medium.

 

If replying in the main to a number of points/questions from a number of
posts, then “top replying” and leaving the email history intact and
“attached” not only can be useful but in some cases critical (for the reply
to make sense).

 

At other times simply obliterating the email history may be appropriate.

 

At yet other times, more careful editing and selective quoting of specific
passages with relevant replies may be better, though this obviously entails
the most effort.

 

It’s one of those things where One Rule to Rule Them All can’t work (unless
that rule is: “Be considerate in your reply-quoting”)

The last reply I read had 2 lines of new data and about 200 of repeated
data.
