When you look at the structure of a bottom post, you'd see that it gives an idea, especially if it's trimmed, of what the heck is being discussed. Get yourself Thunderbird, it gives the option of a easy trimming.
Here's how you do it: select a section of the post you want to respond to, hit reply and only that section, along with your response, will appear. The rest stays in the thread and those curious enough can go back and read the entire post, should they wish. So, yes, trimming and bottom posting makes sense. Mail.app also has the option described above. And I don't think Dan was being snippy about it. Go back and read the thread on this and there you'd experience impoliteness. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
