Its nice to have some rules and regulations so everybody is treated
fairly.
I believe that what we are trying to accomplish is the condensation of
list replies so that it doesn't clog the archives or overload our members
using digest mode.
When I search the archives I find that the main problem is the entire
subject has been changed from the original subject line.
Without adequate quoted content the subsequent replies are lost.
I believe that the archives search engine will work better with the first
few lines as the quoted material.
Tom Carrington can elaborate on this and make the final decision.
