I still prefer inserting new text following trimmed segments of quoted text to help refresh one's memory of the original discussion. In Bat groups like this, including the "mid:"; line helps if someone didn't see the original post and wants to read it in its entirety. Top posting or bottom posting, IMHO, wastes bandwidth and forces one to hop back and forth between the new message and the old text, sometimes repeatedly, to follow the writer's train of thought.

When emailing someone's cell phone address I purposefully keep it short and simple and eliminate extraneous things like my signature line. I don't think reading mailing lists like this is a cell phone or PDAs forte. It doesn't seem reasonable to have everyone tailor posting to accommodate these devices when most participants read this group via PC. Private email is another matter. - -- Kevin Coates Dewitt, NY USA Using TB! v1.63 Beta/11 under Windows XP 5.1.2600 SP1 ________________________________________________________________ . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE/BQoT0srUtrrvVaERAtonAKCQ2FRvn1TPVSfxE7VMoygkP2pfsQCfUYHg bJLLFd0xuuzF5Qr6ChhP+OA= =obMJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
