Hm... I'm pretty sure that "mainstream" here means "created by Microsoft" or "following the Microsoft way", because it's Microsoft who first introduced replying at the top, and then so many people adopted it :-(. But for me, when we speak about Internet software, "mainstream" are people who still remember what was the Internet before Microsoft ;-), and the software created by them. This software always puts new text below the quote. > There is generally not > enough time to pick and sort through previous statements and edit it > for a statement-for-statement chronology, though I often do so when In this case, it's better not to quote at all. If both parties remember what was just said and are interested only in what's new, I don't see any reason for quoting - and then the "top" or "bottom" problem disappears. And the messages don't have unneccessary long "tails" consisiting of old text. Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Spam, wirusy, spyware... masz do6f?
