Hey, from another old fart, (70 and still going), I was wondering how to do that.  Thanks trtlrock!
QS, maybe we need to get the grandkids over to show us how to use these new fangled contraptions

There are times that I want to reply to several people and instead of replying to each one, I just hit reply to the first one, copy the text from that one to notepad, then use the back arrow of my browser, click reply to the second one and copy that text to notepad, and on and on.  Then I just put my replies in the notepad then paste as one reply.

Here is an example (I also removed the img link):

WOW did this escalate from lunchtime!   

Not that I have to explain myself  , but I was referring to a "member" in a general sense. Many of us do what I was describing and it seems that I still haven't received an answer to my question of whether or not it takes up more space in doing so? 

For the rest of the "sensitive" content of this thread , I have only 1 thing to say....

  I first exported an image via Lightroom as a 180ppi (dpi is the same thing as ppi) full-size JPEG from a TIFF. 

dpi and ppi are not the same.  PPI should be used when referring to image resolution, and the term DPI should be used when referring to printing resolution. Monitors display pixels, and printers produce dots. What really matters is file size.

Thanks for correcting me.  Lightroom only gives me ppi as an option, others only give dpi as an option.  I typically use the same values for each, e.g. 300 for print and 72 for web.

I can't fix the PDF regarding that until I get home, so please ignore my error.

PDF has been corrected.

Gosh, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.

Again, all in jest.  No offense intended, just my lame attempt at some humor. 

Musey, please accept my apologies for my joke accidentally drawing you under fire.!

Blonde question of the day....if people are quoting with pictures previously posted over and over again......is it taking up more space as well? I see many times here a member will quote with all of material in the quote when they may be only referring to one sentence from it. Also, when this is done, it makes for a scroll fest! 

That takes up no more space on the server than the amount needed for all of the characters in the message. Naturally, it will take longer for the page to load and requires more scrolling, but the effect on the server is minimal.

However, if a duplicate file is attached to a second message, it will be stored twice. Even the same file attached four times to one message will result in four copies of the file stored on the server.

As the server space grows more limited, I will probably disallow JPEG attachments to force people to learn to use external file hosts for photos. If I have the time and energy, I'll also start deleting older attachments I deem unnecessary. Which ones get nuked will depend largely on the mood I'm in at the time.

Thanks Richard!

For the time being, I've added .jpg files back to the list of acceptable file attachments. If the file server space fills up again, I may have to disallow all image file types.

Thanks Richard, from me too.......!

You need to start each quote with 'quote' in brackets (without the '').  You had the closing quotes correct.

So instead of:

It becomes:
