Good point, Jeff. I was just trying to imagine how many vertical lines there could be for each person's response. Uh-oh! And here I've just top-posted.

Another thing I sometimes do is move the cursor to the end of the other person's comment and reply immediately after, perhaps in bold to make it easier to find. What is it called when the reply is _not_ inline? Diane, Personally I wouldn't reply on the same line as the previous person's comment and make it bold. It is sometimes difficult to see which is your new text and which is the previous person's comment. Any new comments you add should always be on their own line. 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). An inline reply is when your replies are in the middle of the quoted text. Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Gmail-Users group.

Are you saying to first hit the Reply button, then Ctrl-A, and then the down arrow? It seems so as that does move the cursor to the absolute bottom of the message. My own preference is either to reply at the top (via Ctrl-Shift-A) or do that and then manually move the cursor to a specific point if I am responding to a particular paragraph as I did here. If you simply wish to expand the ellipsis without clicking anything, press Ctrl-Shift-A.
