Hi :) See any forums or mailing lists for MS products.  It's only the unpopular products that have mailing lists that expect anything else but don't worry about it.  You don't want people to use this product.  That is not the aim.  Regards from Tom :)  >

Hi :) Of course top-posting does make sense to the vast majority of office workers.  Generally they must have some idea of what the question was, perhaps from the subject-line or because of who (or which list) is responding.  Also it is possible to answer a question in such a way that gives clue
