Marilyn Traber, to make a point, posted a huge
mess. As quote pixie I'll allow that, once
("Yeltar! You may be needed!"), but do point
out, in answer to her enquiry, that if you
get the digest and want to save a particular
post you can copy it, paste it into an
outgoing piece of mail, and then save but not
send it.

This takes twenty seconds. I do it all the time.

I very rarely "Reply to" when I post. I start a
new email and past what I want to quote into it.
This ensures the right subject line and destination
and also that only the material wanted is quoted.

And again it takes but a few seconds longer.

James - the insufferable quote pixie
