Someone pointed it out that it was a technical issue.
To me, its more a "behaviour" issue. Those who reply to emails are, per 'netiquette', supposed to edit down the original note. Unfortunately, many don't, I think due to ignorance. As you can see, I cut down some of your message, but many don't bother. Frankly I've seen MUCH worse on some of my other mailing list, tho that doesn't excuse it.
