Unnecessarily including pictures = in replies is also congestive to those of us who have slow dial-up connectio= ns. Others might not have replied because they thought the point had been made, = and they had nothing unique to add. The list goes to about 500 people. If ea= ch one sent ten messages a day, that would be 5,000 messages. I don't know how your e-mail software works, but in some, highlighting text = in the original message before hitting the Reply button causes that text to = be copied into the reply. Very easy. If not, it is also easy to Copy from on= e and Paste into the other. Usual shortcut is to highlight the text, Control= +C to copy, and Control+V to paste. Considerate list members try to copy onl= y the salient parts of the message to which they are replying. Regards, Bob Davis</HTML>
