[blparent] message maintenance

[jan wright]

i realize that i am the only one who has their message clipped because
Google (or some force) does something to my mail.
But, it really would help if people didn't leave a trail of messages
on the bottom of their response. I do realize that sometimes, it is
necessary, but many times (for digest readers), it does get to be
quite cumbersome when there is a trail of messages.
 thanks for your cooperation.
