       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        Aj> to have a complete email trail that save loads of email messages.       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!                      --- MultiMail/Linux v0.49        þ Synchronet þ Dark Sanctuary darksanctuary.servebbs.com        * Origin: Time Warp of the Future BBS - Home of League 10 (1:340/400)    |
