I must be missing something here.  I've seen lots of messages through  
my time here in the list, but don't understand the issue.  How are  
you guys accessing the list to see these problems?  In my email  
client, I have the power over what is included in the quoted reply.

As I've now removed Gene's original post, my quoting and reply is  
limited to Jack's message.  All it took was selecting the unwanted  
text and removing it - no inconvenience since this is the way normal  
email etiquette works.  What am I obviously missing?
