I have noticed lately that a subscriber who is using Pegasus mail and
replies with text has been having that problem with picked-up header lines.
Don't quite know what to tell users except ask them to delete those
lines, but there seem to be a lot of hardheads out there who don't feel
it's worth their time to do that.  (Kind of like the hardheads who don't
read the listowner's messages regarding how to unsub and send their
request to the list.)  :)
 
What I've decided is that I'm not going to bother to resend the messages
anymore.  If they won't listen, why should I waste <my> time?  Personally
I believe it's a netiquette question and that politeness dictates that
users remove non-germane junk from replies.  Who wants to plow through
all that anyway?  I for one don't.
 
Sorry for the flamesque tone, but arrghhh!!!  *grin*
