Is it possible top post to replies in OE 6?

Don

Like this? Some prefer the top, others prefer the bottom. I top post, but
this will be debated as long as there are newsgroups. The most important
thing when you have a problem, is to include replies to previous messages so
we know what has been suggested and tried.

That is the default. In order to bottom post you have to change the
Registry or use a third party program or jump through other hoops.

Top posting severely handy caps the posts when read from archive as in a
book or newspaper. One likes to read from top to bottom in order or posts
like paragraphs. If the posts are out of order it is almost impossible to
follow. It is not a matter of personal preference it is a matter of common
sense and order. Now if someone can point out a flaw in this explanation
then I am waiting. Otherwise the top posters will still remain lame and
ignorant.

"Lame and ignorant?" Why not prejudicial and hidebound? Once you stoop to
name calling, all is fair game. Why not try to be tolerant, or did no one
teach you that when you were young? New Hampshire used to be a area of
politeness but it seems that it's no longer such. Too bad.

Assuming that you previously made a registry change to do bottom
posting,

look at the registry in this section
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{identity code}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0
for the following item
"Reply At End"
and set it to 0 to disable the bottom posting or delete the entry.

{identity code} is a unique value for each identity that you have.

If that key doesn't exist, then some other program is doing the bottom
posting such as OE-QuoteFix. In that case, change the options there.

the flawin your rant is that posts are not intended to be read as a book
the original posts were read by the poster when they were typed
answers append in order in the tree of replies
top posted is more logical as the messages opens with the cursor at the top
removing the requirement to find the start of the relevant answer

That presumes that the reader has followed the thread from the beginning.
Late comers, in order to grasp the context, have to skip to the first post,
then read down, then jump up to the first reply, then read down, then jump
up to the next reply, then read down, ad infinitum. I have been known to
skip such screwy threads as they tend to be incomprehensible. They are
certainly not logically laid out.

You bandy 'lame and ignorant' around as if you were well acquainted.. I will
