[Catalyst] Can't seem to use forward or detach. Any special requirements?

Hijacking threads for stupid banter is totally cool!

Really, though, I'm sure your mail client can hide quoted text... If it
can't, you are having an email thread.

As far as trimming context, I leave that for the person I'm replying to.  If
I'm the one asking for help and initiating the conversation then I usually
do trim, but if they're the ones initiating I leave it for them to determine
what context they want to preserve.

I'm glad you guys have an opinion, but like I said already, how about why
start a new thread?
