Microsoft made a grand mistake. When you reply to an email using one of their email programs, you get the flashing cursor at the top of the text. So it appears that it's okay to just type what you want to say *there*.
It's not okay though.
I don't know if it's Microsoft that started it but it's certainly not only Microsoft e-mail clients that does this.
Don't most of them givve you an option to control that?
It's really important that one quotes only what is relevant when participating in discussion groups since it helps to greatly reduce the amount of bytes being passed around with each post.
Especially on mailing lists that add footers!
I'm using ThunderBird here and realize that it doesn't make life easy for those who wish to quote only the relevant text. It will not quote only the text you select. Additionally, splitting quoted text into parts for replying isn't as easy as with TB!.
Gee, I didn't have any problems doing this message with T-bird. :-)
