The point remains that if you just stick your reply at the top of the message, you will make it that much harder for other people to follow the plot.
http://www.openoffice.org/ml_guidelines.html has this: Replying When replying to other people it is customary to intersperse your response with their questions, both so you can answer the actual question that was asked, and so everyone else has some idea what you are talking about. It is also customary to limit your quoting to the minimum possible to get your point across. Take the time to be considerate, remember those subscribers who have slow, expensive connections. BTW I recognise that my signature is longer than that recommended in the guidelines... just to pre-empt some finger pointing. -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
