Which is less of a problem if the email client correctly trims it! I can 
probably come up with a list of posts just to this list where a top poster has 
included several signatures several times - along with all the advertising :(


The bottom line is that we are not going to get any agreement on this. It's just 
a fact of life that people don't like to accept being told what to do so we have 
to live with that. But as long as lists like this are coming conveniently into 
my inbox *I* can do what I like with them. I have material going back to 1995 
nicely manageable here even when the broadband is down so I'll put up with the 
irritation - actually most top posted messages can simply be culled anyway - I 
have the previous message listed :)

If you're looking for a sane reason why Microsoft software is popular in the
business world you're not going to find one. If you're looking for a logical
reason it's simply because they built software that ran on the cheapest
boxes available and then put a lot of money into marketing it. That doesn't
make it good software, and it certainly doesn't give them any authority over
the right way to do things.

This mailing list requires selective quoting and bottom posting for the
following reasons...

1) It provides context to that contributors' contribution without requiring
the rest of the thread.
2) There is no second reason.

That's it, and it's a strong argument. I use gmail for mailing lists and as
such have access to the complete thread in a logical format. The most
popular email clients don't feature decent threading, if any at all. Would
you seriously rather wade through a date-sorted list to work out what the
hell the latest email is talking about and responding to? As an example,
your email to which I am replying starts And besides... Erm, besides what?
While a stretch of an example I think it illustrates the point.

In addition, these emails we send back and forth get archived on more
websites than you know about, and they're usually near the top of results
for any search you'll do for help with PHP. Upon visiting one of these
results, is it more helpful for that single page to contain the relevant
parts of the thread or do you really think it's better to have that page
only contain that one post and links to the rest of the thread? If you
really side with the latter, consider that a lot of the more useful threads
on this list end up covering a number of different subjects in its various
branches.

Public archive requirements don't generally apply to business users - very
few of them are generous/daft enough to publish their emails. It's also
worth pointing out that for me, top posting in the business world annoys me
just as must as bottom posting annoys you in this world.

One final thing... you keep calling this a newsgroup. The PHP mailing lists
are mailing lists first, and a newsgroup second - that's kinda why they're
called the PHP mailing lists.

Seriously? That behavior is dictated by Microsoft and could be simply a
shortcut, making it easier on Microsoft. (They don't have to scan down
the email and place the cursor at the end of the email. They can just
put it at the top, easy-peasy.) Or it could have been dictated by Bill
Gates, who didn't want to scroll down. One thing's for sure: Microsoft's
rarely met a standard they liked or willingly followed. Business users
simply went along with this behavior, mostly because they had no
knowledge of anything else. It was the default behavior of the only
email client that came with their operating system. They learned to live
with it and even appreciate it.

My point is, I seriously doubt that business users (who were not the
original target audience for Outlook) dictated to Microsoft that they
arrange their email client so that the cursor defaulted to the top. And
by many accounts, Outlook (et al) is an appalling broken email client
for many reasons. Business users don't subscribe to the Microsoft
email client. It comes with their operating system for free and it
pretty much does what they want, even if it has gaping holes in it. Why
retrain and spend billions to install something else on every computer
in their company?

A similar question might be, if Unix/Linux is so great, why do millions
of business owners stick with Windows year after year? Answer: because
it comes with their computer and pretty much does what they want. And
Microsoft actively blocks, discourages and prevents the installation of
any other operating system on hardware from anyone they can possibly
control.

Questioning bottom-posting is one thing. Holding up the widespread
adoption of Outlook as a reason why top-posting is superior (because
business people demand it) is silly. No offense, but it's pretty weak
reasoning.

Actually business user do subscribe to use Outlook as their client.  It does 
not come with the OS, it is purchased on a per seat basis by every 
corporation using it in the form of a license.

On the other hand Outlook Express is available as part of the os, or is 
easily obtained for free.  It is not however the preferred 'business' client 
for those stuck on M$ products.

When you post at the top of a thread where most people have bottom posted,
that's a bigger problem than untrimmed quotes.

Find out what key combination gets you to the end of the message in your OS

Don't forget that apple mail doesn't have an option for default bottom posting 
and the indents suck. (yes I have a Mac)

Logically, to developers bottom posting makes more sense, but to businesses, 
they don't want to cut scroll and quote, so top posting became big.

The preference is that of the administrators and the community or business just 
need to deal with it.

Business e-mail did not start with Outlook. Businesses have been using  
e-mail long before it even showed up as an option. The de jure  
standard on the Internet before that time, and before several other  
clients came about was either bottom posting or intermixed responses.  
This was true in e-mail, Usenet postings, and other similar things.  
Mailing lists have been around for a long, long time and the reasons  
things are done that way is pretty well established. Now, however, not  
everyone who comes along is aware of and certainly was not party to  
the discussions that happened back then about how best to do things.  
But there are reasons beyond just mere it's the way we do it and  
most certainly beyond it's the way my mail client acts.

I have made a few changes in Outlook to make this a little easier. Since
this is the only time I would ever bottom post. 
I will manually do it, I am sorry but Outlook should have an option for
this 
I was not complaining about bottom posting I just thought maybe someone knew
a setting to make it happen in outlook.

  I've seen fake messages do that before as a way of harvesting good live
  email addresses, so I regard all such messages spam now.
  
  oh, well...

 I have made a few changes in Outlook to make this a little easier. Since
 this is the only time I would ever bottom post. 
 I will manually do it, I am sorry but Outlook should have an option for
 this 
 I was not complaining about bottom posting I just thought maybe someone knew
 a setting to make it happen in outlook.
 
 :) Happy FRY Casey Anthony Day!
 
 
 


There is another way...

Have you looked into using Evolution as an email client? It's what I use
on Linux, and the last time I checked there were Windows binaries
available for it. It connect to MS Exchange Server if that's what you
use in the office, it's completely free, and it lets you set up your
posting options very easily. It also looks very similar to Outlook,
although it behaves itself a darn sight better, and tends not to crash
or drop connections as much as Outlook, oh and there are the added
security benefits you get when you realise that email viruses tend to be
targeting MS products!

This may or may not be an option for people -- when I was working at a  
business, I did not get to have a choice about what email client I  
used, nor much choice about any other software. In fact, I was  
chastized for loading cygwin onto my laptop because it wasn't an  
authorized piece of software. However, I learned long ago to only use  
my work machine for work emails, and had other systems for getting at  
email and Usenet and the rest of network that did not involve the use  
of my employer's machine and software.
