messages in another form could help us out by sending plain text and
ruthless snipping.

Fully agree. The garbage is due to format incompatibilities. The lack
of snipping is less excusable and several of us have griped about it.
Sometimes an amusing one-liner is followed by several screens of
previous messages from the same thread, which could have been trimmed
if the witty sender had thought about it (YKWYA!) If anyone doesn't
understand the abbreviation, guess!

BTW, it's nice to know that, after all the blood and gore and beating
about the bush, the new US President has finally been inaugurated.
