Don,

I have been writing my reply usu. underneath a quoted passage of the
original post and then oftentimes deleting everything else in the message.
Does this not come across as I intended?

It does -- in the ones where you actually *have* added text.
But some show no changes at all to the quoted text -- just the whole
text quoted with nothing added by you. And there seems to *always* be
either a followup to that with new text posted by you, or another posted
in parallel (that is, another followup to the original message) with
text added by you, and reasonable trimming.

I suspect a bouncy keyswitch or mouse button is causing it to
send the first one before you ever get a chance to change things. Just
read back in this thread, and you will discover that the article to
which I replied (by you) was a reply to another (also by you) with the
full text quoted, and nothing added by you.

I'm sure that it is not intentional on your part, but it is
happening fairly often, so you might try to figure out just *what* is
happening.

Good Luck,
DoN.
