Re: Outlook 2003 email listing ALL previous posts on topic, etc.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. (And sorry for the duplicate post.) I mean that the
email lists the address of every email on topic that preceeded the one
received, plus every earlier one sent by that sender. It doesn't show the
text of them. It's almost like I asked it to research the issue, but I
didn't.

Okay, I'm lost.

"The email ..."
So you're talking about the content of the message or somewhere in the headers?

"... lists the address of every email [address] on [the] topic that preceeded the one received, plus every earlier [email] sent by that sender."
Guessing here as shown by the addition of the bracketed words. So are you talking about the original message getting quoted by the first respondent that forwarded or replied, and then that 2nd message again getting quoted by the next person that forwarded or replied, and so on which leaves a series of indented e-mails when each person quoted the content of the e-mail that they got along the entire chain of recipients?

E-mail clients will quote the *body* of the original message when you reply or forward that message to someone else. They will also prefix that quoted content with a subset of the headers for that original message, like From, To, Cc, Subject, and Date. As in newsgroups, you are expected to snip out any irrelevant content or anything you don't want to pass along to the next recipient when you forward or reply to that message. Learn to snip. From those subset of headers prepended to the quoted content, only remove the To and Cc headers. The From should ALWAYS be there to credit whomever content got quoted and included in your reply or forward of that message. Fact is, when replying, you don't even need to include any of the original message providing you don't change the Subject so the sender can match it up with their original message (i.e., group by conversation).

Or are you asking about how to change the *view* of the header pane that lists the messages that your e-mail client has retrieved? Maybe you have "group by converstation" enabled in the view for that [Inbox] folder.
