[Evolution] top versus bottom posting and the control-L function

2009-10-20 Thread Ben May
All this discussion of top versus bottom posting got me thinking. If there's ALREADY a function in evolution specifically for replying to mailing lists, couldn't we add configurations where you set: For regular reply or reply-to-all: {Use top posting / Use bottom posting} For reply-to-mailing
