Re: [PHP] Re: Top Posting

[Tamara Temple]

Business e-mail did not start with Outlook. Businesses have been using  
e-mail long before it even showed up as an option. The de jure  
standard on the Internet before that time, and before several other  
clients came about was either bottom posting or intermixed responses.  
This was true in e-mail, Usenet postings, and other similar things.  
Mailing lists have been around for a long, long time and the reasons  
things are done that way is pretty well established. Now, however, not  
everyone who comes along is aware of and certainly was not party to  
the discussions that happened back then about how best to do things.  
But there are reasons beyond just mere "it's the way we do it" and  
most certainly beyond "it's the way my mail client acts".
