It's not simply favored, but correct. It's even in the RFCs. Top-posting was largely unknown until the eternal september, at which point we couldn't assimilate the newbies fast enough. There are a couple of uncommon exceptions, such as "please review the following", but outside of them, it's not a matter of preference, but correct or incorrect. -- The Hawkins Law Firm Richard E.
