Well as Bryan said, the >> indents on the posts are a pretty standard thing in e-mail. I think it comes from the clients. To put a script to strip them out is only looking for trouble in my opinion. The footers added to the mail mark the mail that came from the list. If it has the footer you know it came from the list. If someone forwards a message from the list to someone else, unless they edit that out, it is identified as coming from our list. And it serves as an advertisement. To me it really comes back to the simple fact that everyone needs to TRIM the message when they are formatting a reply. Period. Simple. Effective. Cheap. And I forget to do it myself often enough but it's a habit thing too. Once you start doing it you just do it. Like putting on a seat belt when you get in the car. My opinions.
