So when we click "reply", it won't reply directly to the person instead of the list. Can't we make that change here?
No. :-P
But doesn't this sort of defeat the purpose of bottom posting? In effect, when we're trimming, we're creating a new thread. If the purpose of bottom posting is to give readers a chance to catch up on the conversation as a whole if they've stepped in late in the game, then they've missed the topic in its entirety when we clip.
The purpose of bottom_posting_with_trimming is to leave the least amount from the previous email in the email you are writing. It is a waste of "paper" to remail what we all already have in our mail box. If we need to read more context, we just pick the previous email on the thread and read it.
Not to mention, clearly the topic of this conversation is now different from the original topic of this conversation. How are we supposed to handle that? Retitle the subject?
Yep, we sometimes do that :-) However, a good mail program will still show where the new message should be: 03:57 Jake Conk .
