Bryan, look at what you quoted (I left it below):
1 line of relevant text
along with:
5 lines of 'Original Message' header
3 lines from previous quoting (unneccesary)
1 line of "Bryan Rabeler wrote:"
4 lines of netzero adds
6 lines of signature
and 7 blank lines
----------------------------------------------------
* 26 unnecessary lines
This leaves 3.70% of relevant info. That's a waste, all right (on a side
note, most people would spell that as 'alright' -- which technically doesn't
exist in English, it's slang). . .
Even worse is when people send HTML emails:
FOR THE LAST TIME, DO NOT SEND HTML FORMATTED EMAILS OR PROGRAMS TO THE
LIST - JUST PLAIN TEXT! Majordomo cannot handle this properly for the
digest format.
