According to sean jamieson, at 11:29 on 3 Mar 99, the word on
the street was...

The reason mailers allow quoting original messages is because that will
make it _much_ easier for the recipient to understand what's going on. On
a list like ShadowRN, where you can get anywhere between 50 and 200 posts
a day about all kinds of different subjects, quoting is just about a
_necessity_ if you want to keep sane.

It would be much appreciated if you could do the same thing, for the
reasons I just explained. If you have limited space at your provider, you
can do several things -- for example, check your mail more often; delete
all messages except those you absolutely want to keep (and those you
should be able to save, download to your computer at home, and erase); get
a POP3 account somewhere; or open an account that provides more space for
email.

(This message was sent to the list on purpose, for others with the same
problem/view as Sean.)
