[thelist] Really weird ASP problem

[Joshua Olson]

Chris,

See how I've trimmed the message below?  I've removed the middle two lines
of the header (the to: and sent: lines), removed your signature block, the
evolt footer, and your introduction since it did not directly ask a question
to which I am answering.  This is a good example of how to trim.  So, option
(c) is the correct answer, IMHO.

P.S.  The reason you caught flack is because neither you nor Kevin trimmed
ANYTHING out of Jason's post.  I did not look at your historical record, it
just caught my eye this time since they were back-to-back posts.

<tip type="IE/Win and Cookies" author="Joshua Olson">
If you are using cookies to track session state, watch out when you set
cookies to expire when the window is closed (IOW retained in memory and not
written to disk).  In IE/Win (5.0) at least, it seems that the browser sends
a different set of cookies for each window that is opened.  So, if the user
dbl-clicks on IE and opens a new window, the new window will not get the
cookies and the session state will be lost for the new window.  Adding a
valid expiration to the cookies should avoid this.

: Are we supposed to trim everything except our own replies?  Or are we
: supposed to trim up to the last reply (like your message which would be
: below with > marks)?  Or are we supposed to selectively trim the last
reply
: to contain only the relevant information (with or without the headers)?
