    Aj> My theory on why people have migrated from selective bottom posting to   
    Aj> top posting is that data transfer is now inexpensive and it is easier

   I can't agree with that. Before the wide spread of high speed microsoft mail   
   readers were by default set to top post. Speeds at 28k to 56k bps to me are   
   slow.   
      
      
    Aj> email messages. However I still need to check that people in the thread   
    Aj> have not chopped, edited or forked the mail history...   
   Logically it makes sense to bottom post on the message this way you don't have   
   to figure out what the hell is going on with all the top postings that become   
   out of order.    
      
    Aj> I have a macro configured to automatically move new sent items messages   
    Aj> back to my inbox. I then change the inbox view to include both sender   
    Aj> and recipient name (this works well with my wide screen laptop). Thus   
    Aj> all my email threads are in one place and it makes it a lot easier to   
    Aj> manage.   
   I like that idea I'm going to do that!
