Hi all.
Please, please do not quote messages in their entirety when replying (as
I am doing now to illustrate).
1) It makes messages harder to read.
2) There becomes too much information to digest.
3) Anyone accesping their email from a hand held will be seriously bogged
down.
I know I sound like a stuck up prune, but we have to work on organizing
information on the autoring level as well as with all the OHS and related
technologies downstream. Replying to an email is part of the authoring
process.
