Dave,

It is not always clear why it has been edited, sometimes for trivial
typos, and usually only serves to increase the email inbox size (which
seems to have been quite high for this group of late!).

One can always click on the View/Reply Online link at the bottom of the emailed message, then on the right side click the Edited button, then the Compare Revisions button. For example, this message:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/3576

I think that in the case of an edit the comparison page should be emailed rather than the new message. In most cases that would make it clear whether the edit was trivial (e.g. spelling correction) or meaningful (e.g. inserting the missing word "not" or otherwise changing the meaning of the post). The downside is that the comparison is text-only, with the original formatting stripped, which in some cases may make it hard to read.

I'd also like access to the comparison from the pending edit.

Can we turn this option off - maybe on an individual basis (ie 'I
don't want to receive edited messages')?

That could be a dangerous choice in the case of an edit that changes the meaning of an important message. Safer is the option J fought for, to disable edits by members.

Shal
