IIRC there is a rfc about quoting (maybe it's part of the netiquette) and "inter-posting" is widely considered good practice. IMHO the function of a quote is to make clear what you're referring to not to repeat what has been said. I know that certain e-mail clients make "inter-posting" difficult but IIRC even outlook has an option somewhere that puts an end to "bottom full-quotes"/top posts. It remains a problem with certain web-based clients though. I think "inter-posting" should be promoted. Most new users will continue to use the Internet and sooner or later they will most likely be asked (more or less friendly) to change their quoting style anyway. Maybe the vim-information page on google groups should be split into "VIM Community" and "Please read first before posting"? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
