Dear John, Yes, sometimes I do. Especially, I have found, for "Hotmail" users, the inability for them, to just 'select' quoted material, and then reply. Invariably, it turns out the whole message, sometimes a page or more, gets quoted. Not sure if this is a "Hotmail" problem or not, but to answer your question, honestly, yes. I've even privately written to some people about this, but it doesn't seem to help.
