 > The "customary response" is: train your list participants to trim their message before sending.

With respect to training participants: My top banner includes reminders of certain basic information about the way the list works, one appearing each day on a rotating basis. I accomplish that using the &DAYSEQ function (example below).

One of the reminders addresses the question. Here's how it appears. This is working code from the TOP_BANNER spec:

.bb &DAYSEQ(20) = 12
Trim accumulated headers and footers when replying to the list.
.eb

It doesn't mean all the participants comply.

Regards,
Hal Keen
