[NFBCS] Email chains

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Tracy,
This is, unfortunately, one of those work place annoyances that pretty 
much everyone has to deal with. Not that it particularly helps you to 
hear this, but this is actually annoying to sighted and blind folks 
alike. It is considered polite to trim everything but the From: Subject: 
and possibly Date: headers when forwarding a message for a couple of 
reasons. However, most people don't bother and thereby irritate everyone 
that receives the message.

As for dealing with it, I suggest using the search function as already 
suggested by others. Looking for the word "Subject:" will usually take 
you past most of the other headers, at least in that forward. If the 
important part is beneath several layers of forwarding, you'll have to 
do the search once for each layer to get past the headers. Don't just 
keep doing it until you hit the end, though, because some people have a 
maddening habit of putting important stuff before a forward, then 
forwarding with gobs of headers. If people then forward that second 
level forward, now you've got too places that have information you may 
need to see which are both buried under headers.
