Dear AEG-members,

Many mail programs will repeat the original text when replying to a message.
This is a great option, but please be careful with it, especially for the
archives!, but also to make it easier to search in a Arisaema-L DIGEST.

If 10 persons are replying to a message this way, let say of 100 lines,
adding some comments, the archives will repeat this message 10 times (at
least with 1000 lines of useless information).

If you like to repeat the original text, please repeat only the parts that
are needed to clarify on what part you are replying and delete the rest!

Hope you all agree on this.

Have a look at: http://www.ruu.nl/~botgard/arisaema.htm
(As I did understand it right, Guanghua Zhu will make a link the IAS Pages)
