Mod: Top posting (was: IMAP converted to POP on install.)

Hi Olena,

@10-Sep-2003, 21:34 -0600 (04:34 UK time) Olena [O] in
mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck:

MDP>> Not quite. Before installing v2, *you* should convert any IMAP
MDP>> accounts to POP3.

O>  One more thing: which metod should I use?
O>a) convert any IMAP accounts to POP3 b4 install, or:

Yes - to preserve the messages. Unless you don't them anymore,
in which case...

O>b) delete accounts with IMAP access, and redo them again?

... is fine.

instigated this reply. Please don't feel singled out Olena.

This posting violated the list rules regarding top posting.

Top posting, i.e., typing all your reply text at the top of your
message and following it with all quoted text below, is not
encouraged and we actually request that you not do so on this list
because 

a) It makes it difficult to glean context from what you typed at the
   top of the message

and

b) It encourages excessive quoting.

We would much prefer if you quote just that much of the message to
which you're replying, so we know what it is you're referring to,
and then below the quotation, type your response. If you're
responding to more than one part of the original, then quote each
part separately and follow each part with your response.

Now, I know that you may not personally prefer this format and that
you may disagree with some of the reasoning here. We very much
respect this. However, this is the format that most of the active
members here prefer and all members are expected, and are being
asked to use the format that will make most of the active membership
here comfortable reading. You'll likely get a more responsive group
when you post using a style that is comfortable for them to read and
understand.

Thank you.
