OK.. this is my attempt at bottom posting. I am using yahoo email.. the latest version i guess it is on. When i reply, I am at the top, and I now see the original message collapsed. Thus i expanded it and deleted most of it as you can see that I only have a little bit left of your message. Thank you for the links, I read those and now understand the top/bottom post stuff. I had a rough idea, but it made more sense with the details in those links.

The question I have now.. regarding this (and I do realize I hijacked my own thread to ask this question.. I have another reply related to my original topic in the works) is how do I get yahoo mail, and maybe even gmail to auto-quote or use the > and in reply? I currently have to manually select each line and put those characters in myself.

Your problem is caused preciseely because you are using the Yahoo web mail interface. It simply does not support interleaved posting or bottom posting.

You appear to be using this:

X-Mailer: WebService/1.1.10940 YMailNorrin Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64;
 x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.62
 Safari/537.36


You should be using a *real* mail client instead.

For instance, you could install Thunderbird in your machine, and configure it to use your yahoo mail account.

Then you can write interleaved posting trivially.


If you have to use the yahoo webmail interface, I'd rather prefer you continued top-posting. Just add a note like "sorry for topposting, this webmail does not support interleaved posting".
