The point of my post was to explain how to simply and easily place the reply wherever you wish. MS doesn't "make" OE do anything in this regard. Email programs have come a long way since the clunky, geeky programs you mention. A reply, by its very nature, suggests that the question has already been asked. In any event, posters are free to place the reply wherever they wish. If this thread does nothing else, perhaps it will call attention to the fact that a reply that does not include some of the original question is inappropriate, amateurish and useless. **************************************************************************** ******************************************
Once upon a time, long before MS got involved with the Internet, ALL e-mail programs (Pine, Elm, Mush, Mutt, Mh, etc.) and Usenet newsreader programs (rn trn, xrn, slrn, tin, etc.) placed the quoted text first followed by the reply. E-mail programs like Eudora and Pegasus and Agent newsreader still do. MS, like everything else it does, decided to forgo all existing protocols and make OE place the answer first. In real life, I always answer a question -- I don't provide an answer before the question has been asked!! ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
