Me too. I don't know how other mail clients behave when it comes to hiding various elements of messages, but for what it's worth: Since Gmail by default hides quoted stuff if it appears at the end of a post, top-posting forces me to click on "show quoted text" just to make sure I haven't missed some context. Which can get annoying, because otherwise the text that's hidden is stuff I'm happy not to see most of the time, such as info about the list. Bottom and inter-posting is much more pleasant on Gmail, at least, so I wish this group's norms were standard practice everywhere. -BC --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
