Top Posting Protocol For Microsoft Software
Microsoft has employed the Top Posting Protocol for Outlook Express and
Windows Live Mail -- and presumably for Outlook as well. I don't use Outlook, yet. [Although WLM offers a choice of Top or Bottom Posting...] I think it's definitely the Right Way To Go. Put the New Material at the TOP. Saves time and effort for witting, alert, intelligent readers. But will Microsoft have the courage to continue to endorse Top Posting in the face of so many outcries from Yahoo Bottom Posters? Let's Hope So... -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor

Top Posting is Sound Theory...
No Doubt About That... Does OUTLOOK also position the cursor at the top for replying to incoming emails -- by default? -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor

incoming emails -- by default? Email != newgroups. Yes, email messages in Outlook have the cursor put at the top of the message. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855 does not clarify whether top posting or bottom posting is good ettiquette for email, only speaking to newsgroups. -- f.h.

... 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 -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

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. -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote in message ... Bottom posting is sound theory. grin -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

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