<<When I switched ISP's I re-subscribed to the Paddlewise mail list in the 
digest form.  It is REALLY a DRAG reading through all the posts when they 
are posted in HTML or MIME format. It's this Yad da ya da yaw da zzzzzzzzzz 
that goes on for friggin' ever.  IMHO I think it's pretty dumb to paste 
*everything* from a message into a reply, too.  Save a Bandwidth or two in 
the process.

     I'll see that 2 cents and raise it 2 cents. I was thinking the same 
     things last night as I put more paper into the recycling. It is so 
     weird because I get the correct post and then a duplicate with all the 
     coding. I thought it was just me or aol or cc:mail or some 
     digest/reply system. It is fine to quote the parts of the post that 
     tell people what you are talking about. In fact, I appreciate it 
     because this list is so busy I have a hard time keeping track of who 
     said what. I don't need the whole post repeated. I tend to skip past 
     all the quoting once I get the drift unless I need to go back and get 
     details. The coding is just weird. I don't know how that gets there.
