Peter, when you Reply and a new message is opened in your email software all you need to do is select/highlight the bits of the message/digest you don't want or aren't relevant to your reply and hit the delete button.

This means a degree of editing if I could only work out 'how'. There is obvious to some a method of "snipping" which must be useful once mastered [I have yet to move into that higher level] but, apart from put the whole Digest with repeated repeats of repeats and further repeats of the repeated repeats, does anyone, please, have recommendations?
