There is a free, easy to download and use program called "emailstripper"
which can be used to clean up messages before forwarding them onward. It
gets rid of all those ">" which tend to be a pain the more a note is passed
onward.
I used it to clean up the response by Mike S and the attached messages which
came in with his response. SamC ----- Original Message -----

The original message has been quoted below, including a meaningless
attribution to "LISTSERV@GERRY.VANAGON.COM," no quoted text in the original,
and your signature.
If you don't properly attribute messages, trim them, and do not use the
standard convention of quoting the message you are responding to (">" in
first column of quoted text) to make it clear who is speaking, then such
confusion is bound to continue. The AOL client should support that.

Most every 'bad' story I've read thus far, including the links you quote,
was related to a GM product failure. Hmm. Inferior quality materials, a
trademark of GM products in the US. Another thing common to many of these
'failures' is the fact that the owners allowed coolant levels to go
unchecked and were found to be extremely low. Boiling coolant would not be
good in any vehicle, no matter what the make or coolant used.
I've seen the innards of many VW's using Dexcool for the years
(including my own) and there is absolutely no evidence of any problems.
It's also a well-known fact that VWs leak coolant eventually around all
plastic flanges. They warp and crack, then leak. It isn't the coolant
causing this, for sure.
THANK YOU Karl, well said !
