On the other hand, if there is only 1 message with one message that is being replied to, there should be no problem. I very much rather prefer reading what you have to say, followed by what you are responding to, rahter than having to reread what has already been posted and then find out what your response is. I would much rather read the most current stuff first. Most Email programs do it this way because it is more comvenient for most readers.
