See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style in particular the difference between 'top-posting' and 'interleaved style' There is no universal standard about this. Ive been in corporate cultures where doing anything other than top-posting is taken as doing something fishy -- hiding, distorting etc. However on this forum which BTW is Usenet and predates the popular internet (WWW) by some decades, it is considered impolite to do anything other than 'interleaved' This means 1. You need to cut out most of useless crufty context 2. Keep a little so that the reader knows who/what you are speaking in response to 3. Keep your response as close to and generally below the context -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
