Only if the poster did not delete unnecessary text. If the poster
followed normal list netiquette by deleting whatever text was not
necessary either for direct context or as part of the reply, then the
*only* text in the message will be text which the poster thought you
really needed to read (or reread).

If one, several, or many people do not trim, that is a problem. But it
does not justify changing everyone else's behavior. Every community has
its customs and traditions, people... if you value that community, then
honor those rules. They are there for a reason, not just for kicks.

Cheers,
