IML: In - digestion of clutter

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

The main reasons that the Digest mode produces so much junk are twofold:  

One reason is that people cannot remember to trim the unneeded stuff off
their posts, for instance the repeated boilerplate message at the bottom
which is appended to every message, including every reply, and: 

The second reason is that people forget to set their e-mail composer to post
in "Plain Text" only.   That makes the digest come through in cluttered up
gibberish caused by all the formatting marks used.

I'm sure that there's a better technical answer, but
it's been like that forever, and you're not the first
to comment on it.

The service comes to us at the "right price", and we
don't have a better mechanism to perform that
function, so WYSIWYG for the forseeable future....

Perhaps someone else that predates my arrival knows
more?  We shall have to wait and see.....
