It's very useful. Usenet has the standard of pre-quoting and inter-quoting. That means that the parts of the message that are actually interesting are not generally on the first page, especially if you have been reading from the top of a thread. It *is* nice that it is so easy to toggle on and off. -- Zan Lynx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
