The rest of the world does it by default because Outlook, Outlook Express, and GMail do it by default. KMail sets up the email assuming you want to bottom post, and most older mail/news clients did the same. For many years, bottom posting was the standard, both in email and in usenet posts... at least until MS got their own TCP stack, so users didn't need Trumpet Winsock on one floppy and Mosaic on another to browse the web. Damn, I feel old for knowing that. Worse since I can still find my 3.5" floppies with Trumpet Winsock for WFW 3.11 on it. -- Thanks, Fernando Vilas fvilas at iname.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
