The main reason for plain text mails and trimming posts, IMHO, is so people who still have to use slow dial-up links can participate. Again, that's not usually a concern in a corporate environment.
It maybe if you are on the road and your cellular company puts a 1GB limit per month on your internet connection.
Try China and Blackberry, then each spam you receive costs a lot more than you would ever would have imagined. (^-^) No, my reason for inline replies and trimming mails is efficiency. You can read this mail in a few seconds and still see all relevant parts in context. If I have to puzzle out a mixture of top and bottom posts without any trimming it would cost a lot more time for me to read the mail. I only have a limited amount of time, so I skip over badly written mails even if I know I could help. Why should I go out on a limb if the help-searching poster doesn't deem it necessary to present his/her case as clear and concise as possible. -- Sandy List replies only please!
