Before we throw out the baby with the bath water. Let's discuss what is possible. Sometime ago I had suggested a welcome letter. Maybe, we could include info on what is expected from list users in the welcome letter. Is there something that can be done at the server level? Maybe a return email to the poster explaining cause of the error. Yet as I suggested earlier this has to be very frustrating to new users. It seems that even veterans of the list make the mistake of the not formatting correctly. And suddenly there is an error on the list that waste time for not only OP but the readers too. Most email clients place the cursor at the top of the email when starting a reply. Could that be the root cause of the top postings? Many believe that top posting is proper (I'm not one). So I doubt we will ever stop that. And when someone points out that the OP has top posted it comes off as a scolding not constructive comment. I do not know what can be done at the server level. Maybe a script is required - like I said I do not know. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected]
