Not if people would use the standard convention of the indent character '>'. People these days don't seem to do that. I saw on post elsewhere where the person who replied had not quoted the original in any way, but his own text was prefixed with '>'. >I do try not to top post mails on ILUG, because most people here dont want >it that way. But I still prefer top posted mails in most cases. >I use "Interleaved" replies when I want to make a point to point reply.

It's usually called "reply without including original in reply". :-) -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> Use DEVICE=EXXON to screw up your environment. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
