[Reader-list] just a suggestion

[Monica Narula]

Dear Jo and Tarun,

Thankyou for suggesting that we all use urls - i agree that would 
make for lighter mailboxes - but as Geert has pointed out (and as i 
said in a posting many moons ago), there are many members who 
would/could not go online to read.

May i request here that could you please - and this is for other 
members as well - delete the original email when you hit Reply? 
(unless of course it is relevant to what you are writing). That would 
definitely also make for lighter mailboxes.

I would also request members to try and clean up forwards as much as 
possible!! Also, please do not forward attachments, but ensure that 
the email that you are forwarding is inline text. (especially useful 
to check if you are sending from yahoo/hotmail/etc. mailboxes.)

best
