Just out of curiosity, does this have something to do with the different software mails are read with (mutt/pine/evolution)? I use Sylpheed mailer, and most of the time I find that top posting is more convenient for me to read, specially for replies in which the writer has not bothered to snip the post he is replying to (usually. after digging to the end of the huge repeat, there is a trivial two or three word reply...). I find that the chronological order is maintained by the header alone, so why should top posting disturb this ? or, am I missing something ? Please clarify. K.
