Email Train

In many cases, email trains are created by laziness as people “reply all” on emails with more than one recipient and then others continue the trend. Instead of adding to the email train, a participant can delete all the quoted text on his or her reply or just leave the text that is relative to the discussion rather than keeping it all. While email trains have never been a make or break issue for email users, web-based email programs have tried various methods to eliminate email trains by organizing serial emails into conversations, automatically trimming quoted content and so on.
