Outlook is entirely to blame. It divides the window in half horizontally and many users run at lower resolutions than those of us who know how to set up our computers. So they only see a few lines of the email at a time. A dozen quoted lines causes them to have to scroll and feel inconvenienced. The fact that Outlook doesn't do quoting properly and puts the cursor at the top of the email to compose a reply doesn't help either. So many people have jumped onto the net and started doing email in the last few years using Outlook that they do not realize that there has already been an established way of replying to email for many years. This has been a peeve of mine for ages, especially since a coworker at a former job complained to my boss that I wasn't quoting my emails "correctly" which to him was Outlook-style. -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
