I believe all e-mail programs allow you the option to put your response before or after the original e-mail. So you have to make a change once. Big deal! I would imagine a reply to an e-mail would naturally follow the original e-mail and that's why the default is set the way it is.
I'm guessing this list is no different than any other list on the internet. Take a look at some of the letters that go back and forth. Maybe your line of thinking would be acceptable if an e-mail only had one question and one answer, but some of them have several responses. So you respond at the top, and I respond at the bottom and someone else disects each line of the e-mail and makes comments to each one. Then there's the ones that ask a different question, starting a new thread with the old Subject line. When you get four or more responses to the same e-mail, it's a jumbled mess no matter how you look at it. If anything should upset you, I think it should be something other than a default setting. -- Tony LaFemina When you want to do more than just buy software http://hometown.aol.com/visitmacland/index.html mailto:remacs at optonline.net | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be September 23.
