There is another option: urging posters to trim as much as possible
before sending out a message. I do realise some are for various reasons
forced to use mail software that encourages top posting and thus makes
it easy to forget to trim quoted material.
Trimming has other benefits too: for one it keeps archives small (I
keep all TLDP email). Secondly it makes serching faster and more
efficient since it makes it easier to locate the head of a particular
thread. These are features I actively use; most recently in locating
information relating to the logo.
