I am using Thunderbird, and when I click on 'Reply', my cursor is at the extreme bottom of the post. This bit of magic was accomplished by changing the initial cursor positioning in the 'Composition and Settings' section of 'Edit | Account Settings' > Also if I read a bit of the reply I can delete at once, if not > interested, instead of scanning down a long screed that people have > attached to.

The RFC's were written for good reasons, that a majority of their developers agreed upon. ------------------------------------------- http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html - Remember that both mail and news take system resources. Pay attention to any specific rules covering their uses your organization may have. ------------------------------------------- Most of the experts, on 'expert lists', are busy people, earning a living in the field which the lists focus on, and donating their time and knowledge, gratis. They ask very little in return... only that listmembers make their lives a bit easier, by adhering to a few simple suggestions, as set down in RFC 1855. While not claiming 'expert status', I do earn a living, in part, on-line, and have to deal with hundreds of emails per day. The harder it is, for me to decipher an email that does not directly apply to my work, and me earning my living, the higher the probability, that I will simply delete it. This is a simple economic fact. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ . http://robertwittig.org/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
