manageable since it's a large part of my job as managing editor of
Home Education Magazine. I use lists to discuss issues with my
editors, columnists, writers, reviewers, advertisers, printers, other
publishers, and so forth. And to keep in touch with my far-flung
family, to catch up on analysis of the day's news from my favorite
commentators, travel bargains, reviews of new movies, etc.

Highlighting the quoted sections either with << >> or something similar is

I hate to sound picky but when a reader is on digest, it can become very
confusing when trying to pick out the new from the huge amount of quotes. There's
a way to change your settings so that when you reply, your email will only
include the sections you've personally highlighted rather than the entire text,
headers and all.
