Keep in mind that most government email conversations (that I've seen) are done through top-posting, and reading through a long conversation can get very confusing in determining who said what. I agree with having signatures at the bottom, and greatly prefer bottom-posting, but I know that when I worked in a government office, having a simple signature at the top that told the reader exactly who was saying what would have made life a lot simpler. --Thomas -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
