Since list messages are archived, there is little point in
accumulating all previous messages in each reply. It’s much easier
if those replying to messages extract only the points they are replying to –
and quite easy to do so. The convention is to preface those lines with
> so your new - original and brilliant - contribution stands out.
Standard meaningless disclaimers are obvious candidates to drop.
I commented yesterday on SPSSX-L about the increasing prevalence
of HTML and other “formatted” messages that may not be readable by
all recipients. That does not appear such a problem on radstats or
allstat.
