And, I have worked for companies that required you to leave all the
previous emails being quoted.
They found that too many times people were quoting just the right
statements to leave the impression that the original poster said
something they did not. Next thing, everybody thought "Joe" said
something when he really said the opposite.
And, the big problem is that they were right. Too many people take the
statements out of context to tear someone else down build themselves up.

I'm no fan of Outlook, but top-posting doesn't bother me either. When it's
necessary to address points, I say, see below. At least Outlook has HTML, so I
generally change the font/color of my interleaved responses. Oh well.

What is it with tech bulletin boards and the fuss about top-posting? I will bet I have
gotten tens of thousands of business e-mail replies in my life and every single one of
them was "top-posted."
What is it about tech bulletin boards where folks seem to want the most
relevant stuff -- the new stuff -- at the BOTTOM???
I *like* Outlook.

My cruddy email application (Outlook) doesn't do the >-style quoting (or at
least I don't know how to make it), so let me try below with tabs; it will
probably be ugly.
Does First Horizon require you to use Outlook? I mostly post from the LISTSERV
Web interface.
Does it enforce top-posting? Does it prohibit editing quoted text, heaps of
legal disclaimers and all?
