It was not like that 15-20 years ago.
Agreed. However, for me personally, trimming using my desktop client (exmh2) is simple. If I'm replying using my phone (K-9 mail), trimming is so time consuming and error prone (one wrong finger movement and you start over again, especially while riding the bus to work -- one bump in the road and I'm guaranteed starting over again) that it's next to impossible. As much as I dislike it, top posting might be more acceptable in those circumstances. Otherwise agreed. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <cy.schub...@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <c...@freebsd.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
