I lack experiences using proper mail client, having been raised in a condition where everything is web-based. s: > > Serendipitously, I was just explaining email styles to my 10 and 8 > year olds and your email came in handy to show as an example. Lol. I wished I had somebody taught me that. I only learned proper bottom-posting fairly recently, about the same time I entered university three years ago. Lol. I'm glad this post received quite a bit of visibilities and replies.
