Fine - there is a difference between the way Evolution works in it's default configuration, and what you consider the correct way to reply on this mailing list. The default settings, and current practices, should however be taken into consideration before you object to people not doing what you "p

Right, and this practice of top-posting has also been copied by Evolution as it's default setting because over time things change. That is evolution even if you disagree with the influences or the direction in which it evolves. But ultimately the point of a default setting is that it is the prefer

Nothing is unclear except why you apparently don't understand what "start typing" means. Removing irrelevant parts certainly doesn't qualify as "start typing" and starting at the top and then moving to the bottom doesn't qualify as "start typing". Maybe a change of the default setting? I'm going

No, the cursor is at the top because that is where you start typing. This is explicit in the default setting, which you want anyone replying on this list to change to "start typing at the bottom". So this IS weird because this is a forum for Evolution, but you don't want the members to use the def
