Gerald, I don't agree with this, especially on posts with very longgggggggggggg email threads. Generally when you reply to someone, they no what they wrote so why do they have to scroll all the way to the bottom of their message to see the reply. Makes a lot more sense (to me) to place the reply at the beginning of the message. I don't want to get in a dispute, the main point here is that the original text be included somewhere. IMHO, I think it should go first. Jeff

E-mail programs like Eudora and Pegasus and Agent newsreader still do. MS, like everything else it does, decided to forgo all existing protocols and make OE place the answer first. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
