Not always, but as Gmail evolves as a service, they seem to be making this style of conversation more and more difficult. Inline replies and bottom-posting are nearly impossible to do nicely on an iPhone. Outlook – as mentioned elsewhere in this thread – isn't helping here either. But a thinly veiled "I'll take my ball and go home" reaction isn't productive for either you or the communities you participate in. -- -Chris Harrington ACSDi Office: 763.559.5800 Mobile Phone: 612.326.4248
