Printout of a reply without the original message quote

T

The Blue Max

We need a way to print the current e-mail message or reply without the
original message. When users correspond, they often enable the feature to
quote the original message in the body of the reply. As such, the replies
grow and grow in size. This is very helpful when viewing the message on
screen, because you can easily refer back to prior messages. However, it is
a printing nightmare when printing file copies of each new message or reply.
Each printed reply becomes larger and larger and includes unnecessary
re-prints of the same original messages over and over. This not only makes
it difficult to read and follow the filed message threads, hidden between
layers and layers of redundant re-quotes, but it also wastes large amounts of
paper. There really needs to be a simple printout option that will allow the
user to print a clean, concise copy of the current reply only, without the
quote of the original message.

This isn't a chat room - you only posted the first message 20 minutes ago.
Be patient.

Hello Gordon,

Perhaps your reprimand would be more effective accompanied by a helpful
suggestion? Furthermore, the double-posting was inadvertant. The second
post was an enhancement request for Microsoft and was not posted for public
comment. We followed the procedure suggested by support technicians for such
enhancement requests and are not sure why such requests post to a public
forum? With that said, do you have any better suggestions on how to submit a
enhancement request (no more wishlist?) and do you have a suggestion
regarding our original concern as posted?

So why did you post it to a global, public newsgroup then?

So that self-righteous hypocrites would keep wasting forum time by
repeatedly reprimanding individuals who acknowledge honest mistakes !!
