In my experience, your words of wisdom are falling on deaf ears. Years
ago I tried various times to try and get people to edit their replies.
Back 20 - 30 years ago people had smaller quotas on their mailboxes. I
spent a lot of time removing addresses from various lists because the
mail bounced back because the user was over quota. Especially AOL
addresses, they were the worst. One time I actually did some math and
found that something like 28% of the email errors I was dealing with
came from the 8% of list subscribers with .aol addresses.
But all to no avail. People will not take the time and minimal effort
to edit their replies. That's the way it is, and we all have to suffer
from their laziness or incompetence or whatever reason they don't bother
editing replies. Just click the button, who cares about what a mess it
makes.
