Billie Walsh got an infinite number of monkeys to type out:

> I'm not aware of any "problem".

That's not the point, if I may, that others were trying to make. It's not a
slight against *you* (ie. yer soooo stupid to use Outhouse!).

The fact is that Lookout! in particular and Windows in general are a 'problem'
in that they do not follow accepted (ie. consensual) standards when it comes to
things like quoting, threading, and many more that are beyond the scope of this
thread. You are free to Google 'what's wrong with Outlook' or refer to the
applicable RFC's to see what I mean.

It is understood that some people *have to* use such a broken MUA, but it is
also requested, politely, on the Twiki, that users do what they can to
ameliorate the annoyances that said broken clients may cause.

As to top-posting, it is not a generally accepted practice, however you free to
do so if you wish. It is up to the rest of the list to decide whether to
tolerate it. Your call. Personally I don't get too wound up about it, but there
are those who take it more seriously. I'm more annoyed at the people who don't
prune, like, say, ARON SMITH ;-)
