Please don't feel singled out koenraad. ' This posting violated the list rules regarding top posting. Top posting, i.e., typing all your reply text at the top of your message and following it with all quoted text below, is not encouraged and we actually request that you not do so on this list because a) It makes it difficult to glean context from what you typed at the top of the message and b) It encourages excessive quoting. We would much prefer if you quote just that much of the message to which you're replying, so we know what it is you're referring to, and then below the quotation, type your response. If you're responding to more than one part of the original, then quote each part separately and follow each part with your response. Now, I know that you may not personally prefer this format and that you may disagree with some of the reasoning here. We very much respect this. However, this is the format that most of the active members here prefer and all members are expected, and are being asked to use the format that will make most of the active membership here comfortable reading. You'll likely get a more responsive group when you post using a style that is comfortable for them to read and understand.

Ok, but if you open the box to answer, the cursor sits at the top. I used to start adding messages at the bottom.. After quite a few complaints I swapped to adding at the top but no problem. I prefer adding down the message anyway. second item, a bit difficult to read I see as I just deleted it! Anyway I had problems in the past when trying voyager as after a system crash how do you find your mail if it has disappeared. Last item, I installed antivirus pro (2009) but I think it is a fake product as Icon is wrong various other things and for sure its not Comodo's icon set. Software comes from their website.
