Not to mention the possibly legal action you may be exposing yourself
to by editing someone else posting without their permission. This is
much more of an issue today here in the USA than it was a few years
ago. I suggest you run it by your legal dept before you start
massaging someone elses post.
I run a couple of moderated lists and if a post doesn't measure up
we just send it back. We make no changes ourself.
