Exactly, this is a general rule on all email list, and newsgroups. I always reply below the quoted, most others do too, not just here, everywhere. I still don't understand the big deal. We're talking about a choice of where to click the mouse. One still has to trim the quote, the list footer, etc. After getting the quoted stuff right, one would have a choice of clicking to reply above or below. Am I missing something here? By the way, for those who might not realize it, 'control A' selects everything. Great when you want to delete all quoted stuff. Another thing - if you select only what you want to quote before deleting all, and hit 'control C', you can then past it back as a quote with 'control V', after doing the above delete all. Hope this helps. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
