It's what standard mail programs do.
There's a german saying for cases like these: People eat garbage, millions of flies can't err. It's what standard mail programs do, if the users are either too lazy (stronger negatives withheld) to configure them correctly, or are too lazy to do the necessary editing. Gee, next time you'll say that because many MUAs (foremost Outlook) create HTML mail by default it should be used by all. What would you say if someone you wrote a letter to would include a full copy of your mail in his reply? Or alternatively attach your mail to his replay? Just read http://learn.to/edit_messages and try to understand what it's telling. BTW, CC'ing people when replying to the list either shows that your MUA is lacking valuable features or that someone should learn what list replies are. Philipp
