It has nothing to do with outlook per se, it's user education and discipline. (I usually (unless company policy forces me to) use something else when in windows ie. pagasus or eudora). If you think about it, it's easier and more intuitive to go down the page from the top than from the bottom upwards. People who top post, also fail to edit when they bottom post. Don't use/ditch any mailer that doesn't quote properly. Use the down arrow, drag, highlight and delete extraneous text. Add <SNIP> appropriately, if you want to warn people that text has been deleted or page down if it is short. Intersperse comments if you want to make multiple answers to questions or comments, if not bottom post. Remove signatures and footers. Actually, starting at the top makes sense. Unfortunately, people are too lazy to edit. (or claim they are to busy) > I'm forced to use Outlook at work (don't get me started, I hate it), as > I'm sure a few others here are...
