Yeah probably caused by the way outlook quotes, showing the whole message the person is replying to at the end of the message. Microsoft, outlook and outlook users have a lot to answer for in that it explains why every single digest on this list and a whole host of others comes with about 50% of it rehashed from people not culling the end of their messages, ie, the previous message automatically quoted in its entirety!! Please outlook users who post to mailing-lists trim your unnecessary quotes, thanks.

Most emails programs have a "quote original message when replying" feature. It's not just an Outlook thing - Netscape mail does the same. As does Eudora, Acorn Mail and a host of others. Shimone http://www.staticbeats.com
