Care to cite where you read that?


No need to cite it. All one need do is to reply in either Outlook, Outlook
Express, or the default configuration of Windows Mail.

Top Posting is Sound Theory...

No Doubt About That...


Even sounder is to include a portion of the message to which you think
you're replying in your response. We have no idea otherwise what you're
addressing. Since you're using Outlok Express, that's easily configured.
Please do that.

Does OUTLOOK also position the cursor at the top for replying to incoming
emails -- by default?


Yes, but I dislike it. Bottom posting is sound theory. grin

Nonsense...

This is an...

Important...

Ongoing...

Issue...


Unneeded line breaks as well. Now you're really starting to violate even
the basics of message writing.

Understood, but I do not consider that as a *protocol*.

Newsgroup posts and books have nothing in common.

Entirely Different Media...

False Analogy...

Do you read your books backward, starting at the last

No...

Bottom posting is for dullards who generally have poor memories, are often
careless, undisciplined readers and who need to be spoon fed like babies.

Microsoft got it right.

Thanks for informing me I'm a dullard. You're entitled to your opinion, but
keep in mind it's your opinion and not that of others. You believing
something doesn't make it a fact.

Microsoft obviously thought better -- was more intelligent and far-sighted
and made the default protocol...

Top Posting.

In Outlook Express, Outlook and Windows Live Mail...

All Three...

Well Done!
