Bill,

Not sure I fully understand the question, but here goes.

If you "reply" to a message while reading them directly from the group
forum, Yahoo automatically includes all the text of the message you
are replying to. While this allows readers to follow the thread, it
adds to the message length. If you want to shorten it, you have to
manually delete or snip some or all of the old text.

If you receive individual emails and reply to one of them, whether or
not the original message gets included is a function of the options
that you have turned on in your email reader (probably in the email
reader "Preferences"). If you notice, Ernie has the option to include
the original text turned off, so you never see the original message on
Ernie's replies. While it makes his email messages shorter, it
sometimes makes it hard to understand what he was responding to.

If you receive the messages in "Digest" format, one should NEVER
"reply" to a digest if you choose the email preference to include
original text, or you will post the entire digest again as part of
your message reply. That makes the next digest huge and usually
upsets people that get email on a dial up connection or through their
cell connection while traveling.

Well did I come close to answering your question?
