We are all webpros or wannabees. We all want to be read, noticed, quoted, remembered, answered, used and reused. The path to this pinnacle is content. Quote only relevant lines of a previous post. NO quoting messages for the tired, fourth time.
Delete footers Put in an semi intelligent subject heading.
If one quotes a message for the third time in its entirety, along with the footers, the potential reader gets an unfortunate subliminal message. I have my email prefs set up so that quoted lines are in dark brown. When I see a message that has very little new content, but headers and footers quoted, I hit the delete button. When I see something interesting, I want to save it in a file. I do not need to keep all the filler material.
