RE: [PROTEL EDA USERS]: Request to truncate replied to postings (ex Re: Hello)

[Bruce Walter <BWalter@davisnet.com>]

I take it you mean that 'Hello' appeared six times in the subject line.

I don't know about other users, but I just re-checked my 'deleted items'
folder, and found no repeats in the subject line.

I'm using Office 2000 (Outlook 2000) on W2K.  Maybe something in your mail
delivery path is the culprit.

Anybody else experience this phenomenon?  If so, what software do you use?
Maybe we can detect a pattern....

Subject: [PROTEL EDA USERS]: Request to truncate replied to postings (ex
Re: Hello)

The above posting, which I am responding to, has possibly set a new record.
Before I purged them, it contained *six* copies of the tail message that is
appended to every posting that is sent to this forum. (I have seen four
copies of this message on assorted occasions, and perhaps even five less
frequently, but that message really stood out.)

It would not be devoid of merit if this mailing list's Server had a script
to detect and then purge all copies of this tail message before incoming
posts were despatched (so that the posting received by members never had
more than the one tail message which is appended to all postings). But until
such a time, I for one (and I am sure many others as well) would appreciate
it if culling of unwanted and unneeded material occurred in the event that
you are responding to a previous posting. Bandwidth is less of an issue
these days than was the case previously (or at least for most email
messages), but it would still be good to have less unnecessary text to wade
through when reading the contents of postings...

Regards,
Geoff Harland.
