      I don't think its acceptable to have the body of all the content posted as part of the forum post, it makes the forums unusuable.

      Maybe we should use the helpdesk software example of a 'reply above this line' to reduce that rubbish.

      Another related issue in my particular example in the screenshot, you can see that you also embed the reply-to link there - this is a security issue because if I know the email address of the poster (i.e. look in their user profile for a lot of moodle.org users) and that special email address I can use it to generate more posts from the user- and its displayed right there in the forum. We should keep that special address private as possible.
