You mean: why should I have to read 10 messages worth of lines just to
figure what you're talking about?

It is interesting to note that your mailer (MS-Outlook) has very bad
support for threading. In fact, it (combined with the MS-Exchange
server) does not really bother reproducing the mail headers that are
required to keep the proper threading.

Which is why you get a big pile of messages and have to resort to
keeping everything in the message itself.

Nope!  I mean: why should I have to read the SAME 10 messages worth of
lines over and over...

Oh dear God! You mean I'm using a Micro$oft product(s)?  I'll go shoot
myself now!  Well, after I've shot every other M$ user!

"Top posted content has just been cut off :-)"
