Hi Brian,

That's a great idea. As an unrepentant luddite, I have never read an
email on a phone. Actually, the only things I have ever done on a
phone are : talk and very rarely send text messages. The extra hassle
(for mobile browsers) caused by multiple quoted emails at the end of a
List post never occurred to me. I'll try to remember that from now
on.

Best regards,

MikeG
