You and Jim use Gmail, it certainly handles email differently
that regular IMAP or POP3 email systems.� It goes by the header
information of the email and strings it all together to provide you the
full context of said message, well at least in theory.� The issue
with that is if you take this email for example and hit reply changing the
subject and the body there is a good possibility it will assume it the
same conversion even though you mean to change it entirely and just wanted
to recycle the email address information.� Personally I would never
use Gmail or anything serious as all my email would be subject to the US
Patroit Act to be read by big brother at random and without cause as well
as Google's bots that read my email so they can display advertising suited
just for me.� For the sake of convention and for consideration of
others I will continue to remove the fluff and not the stuff from my
emails.� Now if we can remove those stupid footers on each of these
messages it would cetainly be more progress in the space wasted
subject!
