[Public-List] Replies

[Zachary Smith]

The problem is, hitting reply on most email clients copies the contents of
the message being replied to. This chains into the long messages.

You are asking people to take time to manually highlight and delete this
with every message.

It'll never happen.

A plugin for the list to eliminate duplicated text could be installed on
the site (or built). In theory anyway.

Sysadmin thoughts?
