Re: [PLUG] mozilla/html question


Oh...I've only seen very few messages that would require such a hack. It's just a fact that I will put off reading a message for an amount of time proportional to the length of the message. It might be annoying to split one long message into chunks. That's partly why I apologized for sending multiple short messages, even though each was pretty much self contained. I just fired off messages as thoughts came to me. I just happened to dig into the question deeper than I had intended.

It wouldn't be hard to use the footer insertion mechanism to add "to
be continued..." lines at the end, and intermediate messages could use
auto-summarization software to insert a header of the form, "In
previous episodes of this email..."

That is one idea. Personally, I prefer multiple shorter messages
over one very long message. I usually put off reading longer
messages.
