I think mailing lists like this need in-line quoting.  The vast majority do use

I would probably agree if I knew what "in-line quoting" means.

However some users append the "Original message" under the reply.  M$ Outlook 
(and Express) mailers unfortunately do this by default.


I put my reply at the end unless, as now, I am replying to specific points 
inside the original  message.

This makes it look pretty bad, especially in a reply.  Also the "Original 
message" includes an in-line quoted message with all the correct indents, but now 
without the extra indent, making it unusable in further in-line replies.

What do others think? Tony

This reply is what I do. But is this what Tony suggests?


Yep - this is inline (and top quoting) - exactly what I think works.
