[Healeys] Blocked transmissions, and unedited replies

I get the messages via digest, so I have to scroll down through the whole 
message in order to get to the next message. In doing this I've noticed that 
many messages repeat every part of every previous message that was part of 
the reply to the reply to the reply to the reply.
Gentlemen -- and you ladies, as well:

Just because your particular e-mail system automatically includes every 
part of the previous message when you do your reply (we AOL people with our 
advanced online systems don't have that problem, incidentally), doesn't mean 
you can't delete all the previous stuff to remove all but the relevant part of 
the previous message to which you're replying.

This will dramatically cut the character count and help insure that your 
message doesn't run into the verbosity filter, and will also reduce the amount 
of scrolling us digest readers have to do.
Thanks.
