I prefer top - why - when I open mail there already visible the reply. Maybe it just of preference. OK some require to post at the question when more then one question. Johan May this be a good day for learning Registered Linux user # 330034 I believe it is preferred here, and even detailed in the list FAQ on Twiki that replies are bottom posted. The reason for this, ostensibly is so that the reader can read the reply in context to the question asked. Shortly after I began to follow this list, there was a series of list nazi posts reminding people to bottom, or at least inline, post their replies to the messages. Of course, some mail programs (blasted outlook) don't let you change the reply option to bottom post. Speaking of personal preference, I prefer the bottom post for general reply, inline for multiple point replies. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
