Jason Davies (27.11.2013) : so that each message becomes an entire archive of the discussion You raise all good points, I think, but this part probably bothers me more than top-posting does. And yes, it's mostly a lost cause because people do whatever they do.

Jacques (26.11.2013) : Interesting that in the Preferences of MM, this change doesn't portray itself in a new Reply. I think the setting you are looking for is Signatures Default signature/caret placement, which I believe defaults to Bottom. This will control the caret placement even if you aren't using a signature at all. Change it to Top if you prefer top-posted replies. PS - I agree, it's better formatted below. But the standard out there in email clients everywhere is above. So as others reply and the conversation continues - it gets very messy when the folks in a conversation are using different standards. Without dwelling too much on the fact that the standard is ill-conceived, I agree that a mixture of top-posted and bottom-posted replies quickly becomes confusing. That's why I generally find it best to only quote text from the most recent message when replying (as I have done here), rather than preserving all replies since the thread began. I already have those earlier messages if I need to refer back to them for some reason, right? ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

I know of no way for MM to change the default insertion point and I'm glad for that. It is a matter of one click to wherever you want the insertion point to be, so if you really want to top-post MM won't prevent it. Weird.

So in a thread of conversation, the replies keep going bottom (me) and above (others). Is there a particular reasoning in this? You have already received plenty of replies about this. Is there a way to change this? (I don't see it mentioned in preferences, maybe I'm missing it?) As others have mentioned, the default can be set in the Signatures preferences pane, but then I'll recommend you also click the button to clear the signature cache (same window). The reason is that MailMate remembers your choice of signature and placement for individual recipients. If you haven't explicitly selected top signature placement in the composer window then MailMate has probably “learned” that you prefer bottom placement. This can be counter-intuitive when changing the preference. (I'm not claiming that this could not be improved. It's just how it works now.) -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
