If you notice I hit enter in the middle of the quoted text and putting my reply in between two parts of the quoted text. If you see, your text is mixed completely in with the quoted text and sometimes hard to see that you typed in a reply. Mine does not have the vertical bars signifying that it is quoted text because it is not. Honestly I did not even see you had typed anything above until after I started typing this. Because it is part of the quoted text I missed it. > When a reply is not inline, it is either top posted (your reply is above >> the quote) or bottom posted (your reply is below the quote).

If not, please reply. > By typing part of the reply in the middle of the quoted text is inline. I consider what Marko said to be bottom posting. But, what Marko said is how you would start to do an inline reply. I selected the part of the e-mail I wanted to reply to, hit Reply, found where I wanted to put in a reply, hit enter two times and started typing. Then I went to the bottom of the message and typed this part of the reply. Hope that helps. Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
