Hi Dennis,

(...) In a discussion of mailing-list etiquette, there was a link to
an useful web page by Italo Vignoli:
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette>. (...) Now there
are two questions:
1. What practices using e-mail messages best support accessibility
to mailing-list conversations? (or, if that is too broad, what
practices definitely discourage accessibility). I would prefer that
those who use accessibility provision answer for themselves.
2. If this is not the best place to ask, what is another place that
might be a good place to find answers to this question. If there is
no "right" answer, I can be with that. But if there is a preference
I would prefer to honor it.
Trimming quoted text is obviously a good idea.
With regard to top-posting versus bottom-posting: I have seen
discussions about this on other mailing lists, for example most
recently at
<http://webaim.org/discussion/mail_thread?thread=4827&id=18223#18223>.
Jared Smith of WebAIM wrote: "The debate over top-posting vs.
bottom-posting will never be resolved." And that reflects the outcome
of other discussions on this topic.
Best regards,
Christophe

2. I have an offer. What formatting by senders will most powerfully
serve those on [libreoffice-accessibility]? What do those with
access limitations confirm to be the best that works for all of
them? Whatever *that* is, I will do everything in my power to
honor. I am not an expert about accessibility, but I recall that
this is one of the cases where top posting is the best choice. I
suggest to have a double check, though, as I am not competent in
this domain. [ ... ]
