Another list I was on had a guy who used Outlook, and he never hit reply. He would always compose a new message, and copy and paste over the subject line and then just start typing his thoughts in. He never quoted at all (which puts the top or bottom debate into perspective) until he started getting hounded about it, and then he'd start copy and pasting over the bits he was quoting and put quote marks around it. (And, in this hacked up way, he bottom posted.) But composing the new message every time would totally screw up the threading of the message. A friend of mine goes the other direction. He *never* starts a new message. We'll have a subject-specific conversation about something and it'll end. And then days later he'll dig out that old message, open it up, and hit reply to send me an email about something totally different. He knows where the reply button is, but apparently not the compose button. But that doesn't matter so much, since it's a two person thing, and we're friends. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
