[pct-l] Deleting the copy of the complete digest

Hi Lyn,

The opening lines of the emails generated by this list server requests 
that any replies delete messages in the email that do not apply to your 
reply. I get a daily summary of emails to the list server. Say there 
might be 5 emails on different topics. If I want to respond to one I 
should delete the others and then reply to the one of interest. If you 
look at the last several days people would respond to the email from the 
list server without deleting earlier non-related emails. So if you start 
with 5 emails on different topics and 2 people respond without deleting 
the original thread the next day you would have 12 messages. Done 
properly you would have two messages that also would each contain the 
original message of the  2 people. Granted It's early days and people 
are still responding to Brick's 'test' message, but as to topics covered 
grow we need to be judicious in the number additional messages we 
include in our responses.
