OSLIST Digest - 6 Nov 2006 to 7 Nov 2006 (#2006-295)

[Diane Brandon]

Hello -- yes, I too unsubscribed from the digest mode because of all  
the repetition of quoted messages.

I may help to note an easy way to get rid of the excess.

When you hit reply, all the old messages are automatically in your  
new message. You can highlight and "cut" what you want to include (as  
I did below), then "highlight all" (command A in Word) and hit  
delete, then paste back in what you first cut out.

It's a quick way to limit what you include.

Thanks for the reminder to do this.
