No! Quote still. Just because I read the previous post does NOT mean I
have access to it when I read yours. I download messages to my
computer, and read and reply offline.. Then close. When I close Agent,
it PURGES all the old messages there. Then, next time I connect, it
posts my messages and receives new ones. If you reply to something
without quoting, I have no clue what your post means. Most of the
time, I'll just ignore it. If it gets too frequent, I might complain
loudly on the newsgroup. In either case, though, you are not getting
your message across.
