Same here. I think there are varying opinions about snippage. Since I'm on many lists I like to see more previous conversation than some others do. This helps me keep track of which thread I'm on. I also think this helps if someone wants to join an ongoing thread or if a thread has branched, but IMHO this is the discretion of the poster.
If the posters use thread aware MUAs, I don't need more than a little context. If I want to check what the previous poster wrote, I only have to move my cursor up on the header list to get it. The problem is, however, that some posters use broken software. Those on yahoo webmail, for example, are a pain. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
