If you don't want to take that out, you could just hit REPLY and then left click and drag over (highlight) what doesn't need to be returned. Hit DELETE and BAM !!! you only have to send back that which is important and it will save space and not take long to download,etc.... Example: I took out half of this message before returning it to the list. Some of it I kept. EVERYBODY IS HAPPY!
