Sorry, even that is not so. I have been using Email since the 1960s, and top-posting has been used only by the inconsiderate. Note that, when you include a complete document in a message (whether Email or anything else), then you should put it at the bottom. Rather like an appendix. But top-posting when you are responding to Email is as discourteous as top-posting when you are responding to newsgroups. |> So I concede the point, and I'm bottom-posting like a good citizen. =20 Excellent!
