Top-posting means inserting your comments before the quoted message instead of after it. It's a practice much used in corporate email systems because Outlook does it that way, and now people seem to think it's natural. However the long-standing practice in Internet mailing lists and newsgroups is to add comments after the quoted material, which makes a lot more sense when we have long threads of several levels of nested *and edited* comment. Many lists even require this as and regard top-posting as a violation of netiquette (along with thread hijacking, posting in HTML, etc.). This list has no formal Guidelines but nevertheless top-posting still bothers many people so it's best to avoid it. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
