For the record, it is very easy to skip top-quoted material on the bn by using space with dots 5,6 (read with 9), provided that you're paragraph settings are set to blank line, or blank line and spaces. Personally, I do not feel that deleting all such email is constituted, especially when the persons known to do it always provide helpful and relevant information, and especially when you are a PDI member whose monitoring of the list comforts many people (including myself.)

I don't think you are in the minority at all. As far as I can tell, Email messages, like so many other things are in the eye of the beholder. Some people like to have the original message at the top, some don't. In my pinion, when I am reading Email with a PC, I don't mind skipping quickly past the original, but when reading with my BrailleNote, I would rather have the new information at the top of the message and then scroll down only if I need to brush up on the original. I hope this makes some sense and isn't too confusing.

Hi, it's Rhonda with a grin, grin! I made this same comment last week. My reason for the comment was that there is no way to tell where one message ends, and the other begins. If I don't recall the previous message, I would rather scan down to find it, but since I do remember, I'd rather see the new messages first. Two of us may be in the minority, grin! >----- Original Message ----- >From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Contribute Braillenote <[email protected] >Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 06:12:03 +1200 >Subject: [Braillenote] message lay-out. >Hello there, I don't suppose there's any hard-and-fast rules concerning email lay-out, but I'm beginning to find it a little ennoying to have complete message repeats before getting down to the answer. Most of us who regularly check the list can surely remember the original and it's obviously very time-consuming to have to wade through messages more than once. Surely, if it is thought necessary to repeat a message for those who might not have picked it up the first time, it should be placed after the information being given. What do you think? Am I in a minority in having other things to deal with as well as the list.
