Especially signatures are elements to be erased. Take my reply as an example: someone reading this mail can understand the conversation by reading first your question and then, below, my answer. All other content from previous discussion about your RPM problem was erased by me, because it would be waste. The Outlook mail client has a bad default behaviour in this regard. Just imagine you send all your list mails to thousands of subscribers, and the whole discussion thread can easily be followed without repeating the content of a previous posting in full length. Especially with the answer above the question is against common reading, which is from top to bottom. Thank you for your question and more for understanding :) Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG key 1024D/ED695653 1999-07-13 Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 (Tettnang) kernel 2.6.8-1.521smp Serendipity 19:01:53 up 21:28, 14 users, 2.34, 1.99, 1.87
