You remind me of a vending machine repairman that used to come fix the machines where I used to work. He insisted that the only reason the machines didn't work properly was because people kicked or

This is precisely how the Groups.io forum interface works, too, as do many others. ?The Gmail web interface has done that for a long time. ?What appears above was simply selected from the previous

I have to 100% disagree with you. Since the algorithm exists and people have gotten used to its existence, and it takes care of the trailing posts for users, I think it's ludicrous to ask them to trim

Quick P.S.: ?My previous message was composed entirely in one font face and color. ? What has happened here appears to be an extension of the issue I reported with signatures. ?I have no idea why

And while I have no issue, none, with your inquiry I do have a problem with the whole idea that there should be a need for the algorithm in question. It is not too much to ask for people to give the

Hi LeeAnne, Thank you, this is what I suspected. Kindest Regards Tina Barnes "Helping Those Most in Need Within Our Communities and Beyond " "Failure is knowing that you can make a difference in

And this is exactly why I'm inquiring about the seeming bug with the top-posting algorithm. The algorithm works fine 99% of the time. The archives do NOT contain prior posts (or return them in a

That's because I'm not. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?No. ? ? ? ? ? ? ??And we're back to my contention that the automation of a lot of things causes more problems than it solves because

Indeed, I find trailing content very useful in reminding me what is being discussed. I am on a very large number of discussion groups and I find it difficult to remember what a new message responding

Louise, Very cool. That also works in Thunderbird (and Eudora Classic). Seems to be fine. I also like the fact that your reply is plain text. Maybe I was wrong with that "has moved on to formatted

J, I was aware that I'm an outlier. ;-) For example, having my email client set so that my replies are plain text means that it gives me automatically a standard form of bottom quote for a text/plain

Just thought I'd point out that I have discovered a trick that helps if you use an iPhone, and I think iPad, when using the iOS mail apps in any case: Select the section you want to quote *before*

I think 99% of the time that you're seeing selective quotations, it's when people are posting via the web, which makes the selective quotes very easy to do. I don't know if anybody trims emails much

Brian, [voice=curmudgeon] Yeah, first they put wheel-y things on yer sled, then they put an engine on that. But no, can't be bothered to turn a simple crank so they put an e-lec-tric motor on the

Thank you Brian. Unfortunately you and I are from a species that is rapidly becoming extinct. From: Brian Vogel I'll add, probably much to Shal's dismay, that the trend toward "automating everything"

Brian, I never took you for such a Luddite. ;) Are you also against calculators and automated spreadsheets? Seriously: Shal has made the (very obvious) point that it is increasingly difficult to trim

Shal, yes, I was talking about top-posted replies. It was a semantics issue. By "quoted" I thought you meant "intentionally quoted," as in, within quotes. The prior messages accumulate below, but I

What you may actually be seeing when a post may seem to have been trimmed by the poster, or when there is no historical context, is that either (a) the person has responded via email to a subsequent

I'll add, probably much to Shal's dismay, that the trend toward "automating everything" just results in more and more and more having to be automated because users are never taught how to do simple

J, Then I'm a bit confused. What did you mean by "non-trimmed". I thought we were talking about top-posted replies, where quoted matter from prior messages accumulates below. And is hopefully hidden
