Jos (& Horse below),
Thanks for the excellent answer.  When Pirsig tried to solve the problem of free will in 1 paragraph of "Lila", I knew there must be more to the story.

Perhaps, there is a way for the sender to signal the end of a posting (with, for example, "*****"), so that you could program to truncate the email at that point.
