Well, there's also such a thing as "editing the quoted text." You don't have to quote someone's entire email to say "read this URL."
I've been on many lists that implemented a "must-trim quoted text rule." The best implementations I've seen haven't been those that force a specific ratio. What seems to work best is a simple rule that states if the quoted text includes the list footer, it's automatically bounced back to the sender with a warning. Leaving the footer in shows that you didn't bother to even try to trim the quoted text. On the other hand, if you've taken the time to remove the footer, you've most likely taken the time to trim anything not relevant to your response. -- Troy _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
