Personally I think good netiquette should be not to select 'Automatically Quote
Previous Message'. But since the threading seems to be another thing that has
gone wrong with yahoo's take over, I can see why people do. Still there is no
reason to include the long missives in every reply.

I have everthing switch to text only ( and a text only sig ) but I was still
getting html. It does look as if someone has been listening though - I have been
seeing
[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
again.

It is a pity that the mentality is that the only way to make money is keep
changing things. I would love the DOS box back as well. But more important, I
would like a Windows operating system that I can decide what is installed - I
don't need MSN loaded along with all the other crap - when I have disabled all
internet components, my customers specifically do not want internet access.

Some of the time we can't "fix your own house" because we are not allowed to,
and the means to change things are hidden well away, so 'mear mortals' can't
mess them up.
