Not entirely. Regarding Derek's comments about what tools my wife may
use are way off mark. You see, my wife uses Yahoo mail. My Dad uses
Outlook. My Dad does the 'sanctioned' way of replying. My wife gets
confused where to see my Dad's comments. If the tools forced the
'sanctioned' behavior then maybe Mike's annoying 'don't do that'
messages would be less numerous. As for my laziness, it's because
Evolution doesn't have 'reply, reply with quote' buttons on the mail
composer. You set the default action as an option. Sometimes I don't
want to quote at all and when that's the case I tend to top quote.

If you want the list members to follow specific guidelines, then place a
url on the bottom of each message.

Anyhow, this isn't meant to be a flame fest. Just my two cents.
