    This annoys me both on Nafex and on Midfex where I am the forum 
administrator.

    Using a digest message to post or reply adds unnecessary bulk to 
messages.

    Trimming a message is easy by highlighting the unwanted text and 
hitting the delete key.

    Using non-meaningful titles makes tracking messages a pain.  It is 
even worse when
    perusing the archives and trying to list by thread or subject.
