Well, Sergey, it would sure be nice if you read the content first before coming to such a conclusion.

I'll say no more but await your reply once you DO read the entire message (which I have left here for your benefit).

I am getting tired of people reading what they want to read and not what is IN a message!

>>>I think that a good alternative might be to make a Setup option (maybe PUTM only, for added incentive to buy) that lets one specify if they want their messages to have auto-quotes in them or not. It could default to yes, as is the current case, but be changeable by the user.
>>>For those who elected to suppress auto-quotes then they could be eliminated from presentation. This might even be two separate options, one for 'regular' thread messages and one for 'Map' type displays.

>>I would suggest that AutoQuote be available to PUTM's only; that should reduce storage and bandwith significantly. I'm thinking that Michel would have a challenge to find a 'quoted' marker that could be consistently interpreted, especially when you offer the user(s) the opportunity to edit the quoted text.

>>The point of view that quotes are needed to determine context may be based on weather you are on-line with a big pipe (easy to click back to the previous message), or reading an e-mail, either off-line or on-line and you're not logged in to the UT. We've become quite spoiled with nearly instant access to anything we want to read.
