Please try to cut down the volume of material you quote :-) As I said
before I have to pay for this personally. Some people are charged by volume
of e-mail.
Any mailer that quotes is also able to delete material. Good quoting is
not only courteous, but it makes what you write more valuable to read.
Unlike many lists, one of the purposes of XML is to produce attractive
documents :-)
