Subject: truncating quoted text in emails
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 16:36:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1479310588.18151.22.camel@intel.com> (raw)
Hello!
While trying to follow patch reviews on this list I noticed that
(subjectively?) quite a few replies completely quote the original email
and then just add a few lines. That looks fine in GMail where the quoted
text is folded, but not so much in mail readers where quoted text is
unfolded (Evolution).
A random example:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-November/128861.html
Not sure what the netiquette is for this list, but at least I would
appreciate a bit more aggressive trimming in replies - thanks! ;-}
