Convention there is to edit the subject line of the reply and prepend [SOLVED]. Still don't top post within. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] How to avoid top-posting.
American Qubist 001: "Dont top-post on this list. *If your mailer puts the cursor at the top of the message, scroll to the bottom before you start typing.* It takes you seconds, but makes it easier for everyone else who reads your messages." = SOURCE: Unman's signature. = MY "TIP" If you go to https://groups.google.com you might find it easier to reply either to the group or to an individual, and avoid top-posting. === MY COMMENTS: A. IMHO this is more helpful than the bare admonition "don't top-post" as (one) we want to make Qubes as user-friendly and accessible as possible, (two) that would include this forum, and (three) the default of gmail and other web-mail applications is to top-post. B. ( I would guess that there may be is a clear and convincing reason to create an exception and deliberate top post, for instance if one has created a thread and wishes to top-post "SOLVED" to implicitly close the discussion.

Admin or user comments welcome but not necessary, this thread can serve as a reference to new users, people who have been away from the list for a while and forgot this, or people who are understandbly a bit confused about how to not top-post. D. It might be helpful if there was a way that regular users (non-admins) could delete their own posts and repost if accidentally top posting but I don't know that there is any way to do that. If you're using Thunderbird, the default is to top post, but that can be changed by going to account settings -> composition & addressing. There should be a dropdown that says start my reply above the quote, change it to start my reply below the quote. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
