A simple request. Rather than having these long emails, where some lines are
added each time, resending the same stuff over and over. How about snipping
down each reply and make it easier to keep up with?
We all get the full thread and can go back and read an earlier email if it is
needed.
Some of these threads are long and with the full thread in each email it adds
up to a lot.
