Hi Ed, There are several issues. It isn't just bottom or top posting and it isn't just context but also the "tons of crap" as you put it, that can be present with either top or bottom posting. The worst case is tons of crap and loss of context. That sometimes happens. If the message is trimmed it should at least preserve the context. If the message is automatically trimmed it may or may not, depending on how far down the context is. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
